Canada had to arrest Meng Wanzhou and it was not arbitrary, but detention is now unlawful, her lawyer says

Canada was obliged to arrest Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver’s airport more than two years ago, but her detention had now been revealed as unlawful, the Huawei Technologies executive’s lawyer told her extradition hearing in Vancouver on Wednesday.

Lawyer Gib van Ert said Meng’s detention on a US fraud warrant was not arbitrary, a position in contrast to repeated assertions otherwise by China’s government.
