A Chinese court upheld on Tuesday the death sentence of Canadian prisoner Robert Schellenberg for drug smuggling — a day before another court is due to rule on the case of another Canadian accused of spying.
The court proceedings for the two Canadians come as lawyers in Canada representing Meng Wanzhou, the detained chief financial officer of telecoms giant Huawei, make a final push to convince a B.C. Supreme Court not to extradite her to the United States, where she faces charges linked to violating sanctions.
Schellenberg was arrested for drug smuggling in 2014 and jailed for 15 years in late 2018.
Well that sucks.
