(E)The suit also claims Canada Border Service Agency agents seized her electronic devices, (e) obtained passwords and unlawfully viewed the contents and intentionally failed to adviser her of the true reasons for her detention. The suit said only after three hours was she told she was under arrest and had right to counsel. (6)“This case concerns a deliberately (A)/and pre-meditated effort on the part of the defendant (B)/officers to obtain evidence and information from the plaintiff in a manner (C)/which they knew constituted serious violations of the plaintiff’s rights,” the claim says. (D)Meng has been released on bail and is living in Vancouver awaiting extradition proceedings.

PARA 3: On Friday, Canadian justice department officials gave the go-ahead for her (7)_________proceedings to begin. Meng was due in court on Wednesday to set a date for the proceedings to start. It could be several months or even years before her case is resolved. Meng’s arrest set off a diplomatic furore and severely strained Canadian relations with China.

Huawei founder: US cannot crush technology firm Read more China detained former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and Canadian entrepreneur Michael Spavor on 10 December in an (8)apparent attempt to pressure Canada to release Meng.

PARA 4: A Chinese court also sentenced a Canadian to death in a sudden retrial, overturning a 15-year prison term handed down earlier. Kovrig and Spavor haven’t had access to a lawyer or to their families since being arrested. Nicholas Dorion, a spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency, said it’s not a practice of the agency to comment on legal matters that are before the courts.

PARA 5: Julian Ku, senior associate dean for academic affairs at Hofstra Law, noted the civil action is separate and apart from Meng’s extradition proceeding.

Lynette Ong, an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto who focuses on China, quipped that the detained Canadians should take Beijing to court for violation of basic human rights, taking a leaf from the Meng lawsuit. “The (10) _______of their human rights is so much graver than violation of her constitutional rights,” Ong said. “But that’s not even possible for them. The fact that they were denied a lawyer in the first place means they are not entitled to any justice.”
