Air Canada Flight: Canadian Authorities

Agency Memo Dept: The case made international headlines after an internal border agency memo was leaked to media, and the attached photos of the man with and without the mask on went viral on the Internet, according to CTV. Daniel McLeod, the man's lawyer, claimed his client's parents are under investigation in China by police in the Public Security Bureau because their son's identity was widely reported in the media. McLeod also accused Canadian authorities of divulging information to the Chinese government in the process of investigating his client's identity and the man took an Air Canada flight to Vancouver from Hong Kong in October wearing an elaborate silicone mask of an elderly white male, which he donned during the flight to the alarm of some fellow passengers. The man's identity is shielded by a publication ban, and he appeared at Wednesday's hearing only by telephone. As reported in the news.
