The Chinese regime’s top prosecutor said Jan. 3 that two Canadians detained after Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou had “without a doubt” violated the law. The president of a think tank that employs one of the men says he’s innocent.
Authorities in Beijing previously said the two men—Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat and an adviser with the think tank International Crisis Group, and businessman Michael Spavor—are suspected of endangering state security.
