Foreign Affairs Minister calling for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor

BY , May 28, 2020 7:32 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The Chinese embassy in Ottawa is angrily denouncing a ruling in the case of tech executive Meng Wanzhou, who is wanted on fraud charges in the US.

Experts are warning two Canadians imprisoned in China could face retaliation because the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the charges Meng faces in America could also be a crime in Canada and the case should proceed.

But Canada is holding firm, with Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne calling for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.
