A few days ago, after a long time, Meng Wanzhou appeared again. Meng Wanzhou expressed his support for her and said that he would continue to work hard to return home as soon as possible. Although Meng Wanzhou is still in Canada, it doesn't mean she is safe. Her ending can't be too happy. After all, the United States is prepared to come.
What will Meng Wanzhou face? Can she be extradited to the United States
From the perspective of Canada's extradition act, Meng Wanzhou may face three outcomes
The first ending. The United States will successfully extradite Meng Wanzhou. If the Canadian judge and jury agree with the evidence provided by the United States for the extradition hearing, and determine that the extradition has been established. The Ministry of justice of Canada will transfer it to the U.S. Department of justice to allow Meng Wanzhou to enter the U.S. judicial process. The location of Meng Wanzhou will also become the U.S. court.
The second outcome was that Meng Wanzhou and the United States sued for a 'protracted war'. Meng Wanzhou can submit an opinion to the Minister of justice of Canada within 30 days. If the Minister of justice thinks that the parties cannot get a fair trial after extradition, they can also refuse to issue an extradition order, so as to protect the rights or interests of the extradited person. According to the decision of the extradition court and the extradition order of the Minister of justice, Meng Wanzhou can also file an appeal and judicial review with the court of appeal.
The court of appeal may decide to return the case to the minister or the extradition court, or it may make its own decision on extradition. Not only that, Meng Wanzhou can also call on the Supreme Court of Canada to continue to crack down on the prosecution of the United States. In short, Meng may choose a long-term judicial struggle between Canada and the United States and try to delay extradition to the United States.
Will Meng Wanzhou be released
The third result is that the United States failed to extradite Meng Wanzhou. Canadian judges and juries held that the extradition hearing did not confirm the extradition, Meng Wanzhou was released by the Canadian authorities. However, the release of the Canadian authorities does not mean that Meng can relax after the boat. The independence of the judicial systems in Canada and the United States and Meng Wanzhou's release in Canada do not mean that the U.S. Department of justice has also determined her innocence. When Meng Wanzhou returns to China, he will face a similar situation of being arrested in Canada when he moves to airports in other countries (especially in countries with extradition treaties in the United States).
If Meng Wanzhou wants to be absolutely safe in the future, it needs the United States to make a verdict of "not guilty". Only in this way, Meng Wanzhou will not be arrested and extradited by the US allies when passing through the airports of relevant countries. What will be the outcome of Meng Wanzhou? We need to know the answer next year.
