Two Canadians detained in China have received increased access to family following 'agreements' Canada has obtained, a new government statement said.

Meng's lawyers want her to be allowed to leave her Vancouver home outside the hours of her curfew without being accompanied by private security staff.

The Huawei executive's husband testified that Meng is at heightened risk of contracting COVID-19 given her proximity to multiple security personnel when she leaves home.

Germany's UN ambassador appealed for China to release Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor this Christmas at his final meeting of the UN Security Council.

The Huawei executive's defence team has outlined a new, fourth branch of argument for why they believe she was subjected to an abuse of process and should be released.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was arrested in December 2018. China promptly seized Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor days later and has linked their fates repeatedly since.

Roslyn MacVicar served as the director general for the border agency in the Pacific region at the time of Meng's arrest on Dec. 1, 2018.

As long as China holds Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, Roy Green says Canada must counter China's 'hostage diplomacy.'

Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor are being held on suspicion of national security crimes but neither it nor Canada has released specifics about their cases.

Nicole Goodman said a few weeks after the arrest, she was told not to create additional notes on the matter because they could be subject to an access to information request.
