The #FreeChinaHostages campaign aims to raise awareness and condemnation of China's arbitrary detention of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

According to sources, the deal would require Meng to admit to some of the allegations in the criminal case against her, which prosecutors would then drop if Meng co-operated.

A hearing continues Monday in the extradition case of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested at the Vancouver airport in 2018 at the request of American officials.

Sowmith Katragadda told an evidence-gathering hearing in Meng's B.C. Supreme Court extradition case he couldn't recall where the idea came from.

Meng's defence is trying to build a case for abuse of process, claiming Canadian officials gathered evidence to support an American case against her under the guise of a routine immigration exam.

The lengthy extradition process resumes Monday for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou as her lawyers fight against her removal from Canada to the United States.

The B.C. Supreme Court is hearing evidence this week that Meng's defence team hopes will bolster an argument they will make next year during extradition proceedings that she was subject to an abuse of process.

However, the judge ruled that the Huawei CFO's arguments were not strong enough to warrant an immediate dismissal of the case.

Scott Kirkland is the second in a series of witnesses called to testify this week at the request of Meng's defence team.
