Ms Meng’s lawyer said on Wednesday that it planned to ask The Canadian authorities to ease her bail conditions.
Mona Duckett, a lawyer for Ms. Meng, said at a routine scheduling hearing in Vancouver that they were about to apply to relax bail conditions in an attempt to release Ms. Meng from daytime supervision.
John Gibb-Carsley, a prosecutor at Canada’s Ministry of Justice, said the government would oppose easing bail conditions.
After Ms. Meng, 48, was arrested, the judge released her on bail conditions that included wearing GPS shackles, a curfew at one of two Vancouver mansions and daytime supervision by private security guards.
At a hearing in British Columbia’s Supreme Court on Monday, lawyers also discussed a date for an extradition hearing for Ms. Meng, who has also been accused by defense lawyers of repeated abuse of her rights.
They argued that President Trump “poisoned” her case when he said he might intervene in the case in exchange for Chinese concessions on trade, and that the United States had no jurisdiction over the alleged crimes and that extraditing her to the United States would violate international law. Ms. Meng’s lawyers also accused The Canadian authorities of violating Ms. Meng’s rights during her trial.
Canada has alleged that two Canadian citizens detained in China on suspicion of espionage were being held in retaliation for Ms. Meng’s arrest. The day before, Germany’s representative to the United Nations had been rebuked by China’s deputy, Geng Shuang, for calling on Beijing to release the Two Canadians.
