A colleague of Michael Kovrig says that he's "thrilled" to hear that the Canadian is finally home after being detained in China for more than 1,000 days.
Kovrig and fellow Canadian Michael Spavor both landed at Calgary International Airport early Saturday morning. Since December 2018, the two men had been detained while facing espionage charges, which came not long after Canadian authorities -- responding to an extradition request from the U.S. -- arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver.
Madhiraju worked with Kovrig at Crisis Group, an international foreign policy think tank. Kovrig, an ex-diplomat, had been working in China as the group's Northeast Asia advisor before his arrest.
Canada shoud advise all Canadians to withdraw from China and businesses to close all operations there. This was political terrorism on innocent Canadians by a cruel government that needs to be shut down for the good of humanity.
Thank Biden
Thanks world power China and US for making this possible.
Now all media should leave them the hell alone. They'll talk when THEY are ready, or maybe they won't. Respect their privacy!
This proves that China was using them as a ransom only. Can JustinTrudeau act on china
So the silly CCP regime is playing hostage game still in 2021
JustinTrudeau Thanks for doing nothing to free them.
Thrilled that Americans gave up on Meng.

China has released detained Canadians Kovrig, Spavor: PMPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says China has released detained Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. The two Canadians have been in Chinese custody for 1,019 days on espionage charges that were largely viewed as a retaliatory response to Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. What an awful thing for these two guys to have gone through. *Prisoner exchange That this was allowed to go on this long is on the federal liberals.
