华为一直相信孟女士是清白的。我们认为，美国下令逮捕孟女士是非法滥用程序，背后有政治因素驱动，而非出于法治考虑。

孟女士的律师今天在法庭上披露了三个重要事项：

第一，针对孟女士发起的刑事案件完全基于不实指控。律师今天在法庭上明确指出，孟女士的行为是公开、透明的，银行人员也完全了解相关问题的实际情况。孟女士陈述的PPT没有误导性，银行了解Skycom在伊朗的业务和运营的性质，也了解华为与Skycom的关系。因此，没有证据证明孟女士有“欺骗、不诚实或其他不正当手段”的行为，银行也没有因孟女士的陈述面临利益被剥夺的风险。

第二，加拿大相关部门在FBI参与下采取的行动对孟女士依据《加拿大权利与自由宪章》所享有的权利造成了多次、严重的侵犯。加拿大司法部公布的证据表明，拘捕孟女士是由加拿大皇家骑警、加拿大边境服务局和美国FBI三部门互相配合的。加拿大皇家骑警故意延迟出示拘捕令，以“例行入境检查”为名对孟女士实施非法扣押和搜查。另外，他们还搜查了孟女士的行李，并根据FBI的指示扣押其手机和其它电子设备，强迫其交出密码。关于此案件的更多关键证据目前还在加拿大皇家骑警、加拿大边境服务局和司法部手中，孟女士后续将向法庭申请，要求加拿大皇家骑警、加拿大边境服务局和司法部进一步公布相关证据。

第三，逮捕孟女士违反了美加引渡条约及加拿大《引渡法》的核心原则—双重犯罪原则。美国对孟女士的指控是基于美国对伊朗的制裁，但是加拿大目前并没有针对伊朗的金融制裁，因此孟女士面临的指控在加拿大并不构成犯罪。引渡请求不满足双重犯罪的要求。

此外，律师认为引渡程序过程中出现的政治因素将导致对公正的严重损害，也会使孟女士的合法权利受到侵害。孟女士将据此向法庭申请停止引渡程序。

加拿大是一个尊重法治以及《加拿大权利与自由宪章》的国家。我们认为执法机构的官员在任何时候、任何情况下都应遵守法治原则，对所有人，包括加拿大公民和到访者都一视同仁。

我们相信加拿大的司法体系，我们也期待孟女士尽快重获自由。

From the outset, Huawei has expressed confidence in Ms. Meng’s innocence. We have maintained that her U.S.-ordered arrest was an unlawful abuse of process – one guided by political considerations and tactics, not by the rule of law.

 

Today in court, lawyers for Ms. Meng made three new and important disclosures.

 

First, the criminal case against Ms. Meng is based on allegations that are simply not true.  To the contrary, it was made clear in court today that business activities by Ms. Meng were conducted openly and transparently with full knowledge of banking officials. The lawyers noted in court today that the PowerPoint presented was not misleading, the bank had knowledge of the nature of Skycom's business and operations in Iran, and the bank understood the relationship between Huawei and Skycom. Therefore, no evidence to prove that Meng committed acts of "deceit, dishonesty, or other fraudulent means" or the bank was placed at a risk of deprivation by relying on Meng’s Presentation.

 

Second, it was revealed that actions directed in part by the FBI led to serious and repeated violations of Ms. Meng’s rights under the Charter. According to the evidence disclosed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) of Canada, the arrest of Meng at the airport was a coordinated effort of three departments: the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and the FBI. The RCMP intentionally delayed the presentation of the arrest warrant in order to carry out unlawful detention and search against Meng under the pretense of a routine border check. Her luggage was searched. Her cellphone and other electronic devices were seized at the direction of the FBI – and she was compelled to reveal her passwords.  More key evidence regarding this case remains in the hands of the RCMP, the CBSA and the DOJ. Ms. Meng will apply to the court, asking the RCMP, CBSA, and DOJ to disclose more evidence on this matter.

 

Third, it was revealed that the arrest of Ms. Meng violated a core principle of the Canada - US Extradition Treaty and Canadian extradition law – because the allegation she faces is not a crime in Canada. The US allegations against Meng are based on violations of US sanctions against Iran. However, Canada does not impose sanctions on financial services in relation to Iran. Therefore, the extradition request does not satisfy the double criminality requirement.

 

Furthermore, it was stated that political factors at play during the extradition process may lead to a serious violation of justice. Ms. Meng’s legitimate rights may also be harmed.  Thus Ms. Meng intends to apply to this Court for a stay of the extradition proceedings.

 

Canadians value the rule of law – and the Charter of Rights. Law enforcement officials are expected to follow the rules at all times, in all cases and for all people – citizens and visitors alike.

 

We have trust in the Canadian judicial process – and we look forward to seeing Ms. Meng’s freedom restored.
