Huawei's Meng Wanzhou sues Canadian authorities over arrest
The QuintMeng Wanzhou was detained in December on suspicion of fraud and breaching US sanctions on Iran. But Meng has now filed a civil claim against Canada's government, border agency and police for "serious breaches" of her civil rights, the BBC reported on Sunday. The claim - filed in British Columbia's Supreme Court on Friday -- seeks damages against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canadian Border Services Agency and the federal government for allegedly breaching her civil rights. Officers held her to get information they "did not believe would be obtained if the Plaintiff was immediately arrested", breaking her rights under Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. US authorities filed almost two dozen charges against Huawei -- the world's second largest smartphone maker -- and Meng in January, along with a formal request for her extradition.
