Huawei CFO lawyer says Canadian police put FBI demands ahead of Meng's rights

Canadian police prioritized demands from the FBI over the rights of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou"at nearly every turn" during her investigation and arrest, Meng's lawyers said on Wednesday.

Meng, 49, who is fighting extradition to the United States on bank fraud charges, returned to the British Columbia Supreme Court on Wednesday, as her hearing entered the final stages.She was arrested on a U.S. warrant on Dec. 1, 2018, during a stopover at Vancouver International Airport and has since been under house arrest in Vancouver.

Defense lawyer Tony Paisana said authorities on both sides of the border failed in their duties to conduct themselves honorably and transparently, listing many alleged violations of Meng's rights in submissions to the court on Wednesday.
