1、美国的控告是出于政治动机。美国总统曾多次表现,假如孟密斯案有助于美国与中国告竣商业协议,他会对此案举行干预。在这种环境下,加拿大司法部长仍旧决定签发授权推进令,我们对此感到扫兴。
2、美国控告的举动在加拿大根本不构成犯罪。只管云云,加拿大司法部长仍旧同意签发授权推进令,这完全不符合“双重犯罪”的根本引渡原则。
3、孟密斯没有任何不妥举动,美国对她的告状与引渡是对司法步伐的滥用。
4、盼望孟密斯的正当权利在引渡过程中的司法阶段能得到掩护。
1.We are disappointed that the Minister of Justice has decided to issue an Authority to Proceed in the face of the political nature of the U.S,charges and where the President of the United States has repeatedly stated that he would interfere in Ms.Meng's case if he thought it would assist the U.S negotiations with China over a trade deal.
2.We are also concerned that the Minister has approved an ATP in circumstances where the conduct alleged to be an offence in the U.S.would not be an offence in Canada. This is an affront to the foundational extradition principle of double criminality.
3.Our client maintains that she is innocent of any wrongdoing and that the U.S. prosecution and extradition constitutes an abuse of the processes of law.
4.Our client looks forward to having her rights vindicated in the judicial phase of the extradition process.
