Canadian Michael Kovrig awaits verdict after trial in China
Closed-door hearing takes place days after trial of another Canadian, with diplomats barred from attending
The trial of a Canadian man detained for more than two years in China on espionage charges has taken place, with relations between Ottawa and Beijing in freefall.
The hearing in the case of Michael Kovrig came days after the closed-door trial of another Canadian man, with both detained in apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest of the Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou under a US extradition warrant.
