Chinese Detainee Sues U.S. from Canada

     Ms. Meng Wahzhou, CFO of tech giant Huawei, has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. against the U.S. government.  Her lawsuit contends that issuing an arrest warrant for here in Canada is against international law.  The suit contends that she has done nothing that can she can be responsible for as the CFO of a large Chinese corporation that does business world wide.
     Since she is under house arrest in Canada, her options are stictly limited while Canadian courts determine their response to the DOJ in  the U.S. that she be extradited to the USA to answer charges that she violated international law by sidestepping sanctions against Iran placed intoo effect bythe government of the US.   Ms. Menghas already taken this same approach to deal with the arrest in British Columbia where the courts have ruled that there is sufficient evidence to hold an extradition hearing for the U.S, request.  She is able to stay in one of her two homes in Vancouver, B.C.
