A Chinese court has upheld a death sentence against Canadian citizen Robert Schellenberg.
Schellenberg has been detained in China since 2014, when he was accused of[SIZE=7] attempting to smuggle 225kg[/SIZE] of methamphetamine to Australia. He has maintained his innocence. In December 2018 he was sentenced to 15 years but after he appealed a retrial was ordered and the Dalian intermediate people’s court instead ordered his execution.

His case is one of at least two involving Canadian detainees expected to hear a result as early as Tuesday, in what observers and foreign governments have labeled “hostage diplomacy” by Chinese authorities over an ongoing extradition hearing in Canada for a Huawei executive wanted in the US.
The court said the facts presented in the earlier trial were clear and the evidence “reliable and sufficient”.
“The conviction was accurate, the sentence was appropriate, and the trial proceedings were in accordance with the law,” it said.
Separately, another court is reportedly expected to deliver a sentence against Canadian Michael Spavor, a businessman who was charged with espionage alongside former diplomat Michael Kovrig and tried in secret in March after more than 830 days in detention.
The arrest of the men and the retrial of Schellenberg have been linked to Canada’s arrest of Chinese Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, which occurred just days earlier.
Meng was arrested at Vancouver airport on a US warrant in late 2018 over allegations she committed fraud by misleading HSBC about Huawei’s business dealings in Iran. The US alleges Huawei used a Hong Kong shell company to sell equipment to Iran, in violation of sanctions.
When you travel all the way to China to sell drugs, what do you expect? The Chinaman has a painful history with the Opium and he ain’t taking chances with the white pigs again.
Let’s see how far Canada is willing to go to lick America’s balls. The ball is in their court. The lives of two of their citizens or the freedom of a Chinese woman. Kumbe China wanajua kucheza hii game.
