VANCOUVER/TORONTO (Reuters) - A key witness involved in the arrest of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou two years ago has decided not to testify in the Canadian court as part of Meng's ongoing witness cross-examination, the court heard on Monday.

Meng arrived back in the British Columbia Supreme Court on Monday as her U.S. extradition hearing resumed. Her lawyers are fighting to establish that Meng's rights were violated during the events leading up to her arrest. Her lawyers called the refusal of a senior Canadian police officer to testify in court "concerning."
