 China slams Canada's 'inhumane' treatment of Huawei CFO
BEIJING 11 Dec (ANA) - China has criticised Canada over its treatment of Huawei Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested in Canada last week.
The Chinese government said Canada has not allowed Meng proper medical care while in detainment and has called for her immediate release on medical grounds.
"We believe this is inhumane and violates her human rights," China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kan said ahead of Monday's bail hearing for Meng.
Meng has argued that she should be released on bail while awaiting an extradition hearing, citing fears for her health while jailed in Canada, claiming she is not a flight risk because she has several family members in Canada.
The senior Huawei executive said she was taken to a hospital for treatment for hypertension after being arrested. She cited hypertension as a factor in a bail application seeking her release pending an extradition hearing.
She also said she has long-standing ties to Vancouver dating back at least 15 years, as well as significant property holdings in the city.(ANA)
