Kovrig, Spavor Scheduled to Stand Trial in China in Coming Days
Former Chinese senior judge concerned about the fate of the two Canadians
Canada’s embassy in Beijing has been notified that court hearings for Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig have been scheduled for March 19 and 22 respectively, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau said in a statement on March 17.
Garneau said that Canadian officials are “seeking continued consular access” to the two Canadians and that no further information can be provided due to privacy concerns.
Li Jianfeng, a former judge in China who now lives in Vancouver, says he is concerned about the upcoming trials of Kovrig and Spavor given the past conduct of the Chinese communist regime.
