Beijing has protested against the “inhumane” treatment of a Huawei executive who was detained in Canada over a US extradition bid. Earlier, there were reports that her health has deteriorated in custody.
“We believe this is inhumane,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a regular press briefing. When asked to comment on news reports that Meng Wanzhou, the 46-year-old chief financial officer of Huawei, is suffering from health problems, the diplomat said the Canadian detention “violates her human rights.”
Earlier on Monday, the state-affiliated Global Times newspaper reported that the Huawei CFO “has been subjected to rude and degrading treatment.
