Death Penalty: Robert Schellenberg and Czech Republic

death penalty: Canada remains extremely concerned that China chose to apply the death penalty, a cruel and inhumane punishment, at the retrial on Jan. 14, 2019, Global Affairs Canada said in a statement, according to National Observer. The foreign ministry also thanked Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the Czech Republic for sending representatives to the hearing. The show of solidarity did not diminish Canadian worries over the fate of Robert Schellenberg of British Columbia. Schellenberg's new sentence was meted out six weeks after the RCMP detained Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on a U.S. extradition warrant, plunging Sino-Canadian diplomatic relations to a new low. What people are reading Pipeline projects, the pandemic and the question journalists fail to ask Yes, oil is dead. Nine days after Meng's arrest, two other Canadians ex-diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor were detained in China on allegations they had violated China's national security.
