TORONTO—After nearly a decade as a Supreme Court judge in China, Xie Weidong decided he had seen enough of the justice system under the Communist Party—at times even being told how to rule before the start of a trial—and stepped down as a judge in 2000.
Xie, a resident of Toronto who moved to Canada in 2014 and has been sponsored by his Canadian wife to become a permanent resident, is now being pursued by the same justice system he once worked for.
