Schellenberg either received some really bad legal advice, was railroaded to appeal, or, was too naive.
Such a gentle, honourable people the CCP are. "Dare to appeal the 15 year sentence!? Ok, we give you death now!" The types to torture an animal and then kill it if it fights back.
Canada has no pull after decades of submissive behaviour by so many unimpressive people. I've repeated it over and over, you must NOT walk lightly with them. You make them lose face. You call them out. You point at them, challenge them and expose them. You insult them if you must. Blinkens team did just that, and as much as China tried to put on a strong face but they were rattled at the meeting and days after.
If only the U.S and others would continue it. You can be sure you will always have an ally of the most headstrong people, be it someone like myself or someone in India, Japan or US of A.
Canada believes that quiet diplomacy is the best approach. It's a fools game when dealing with dictators. If you don't punish the power structure, which is their economy, you are going to be bent over a barrel every time.
Sadly, Canadian police and our political structure enjoy persecuting people like me in Canada. It's easy to bully citizens, that's not bravery, it's cowardice. When it comes to REALLY fight for something, they watch as our citizens are hung out to dry.
it's disgusting, but also Canadas future. Yes, if he is guilty and knowlingly did this, he knew the possible outcome. That's on him if true. However, this is becoming part and parcel of being Canadian in the world today it seems.
Pray for Robert and the two Michaels. If I were in power, I'd bring a facelift to the domestic civil liberties in our Canadian system and a drastically different methodology of dealing with foreign bullies.
A Chinese court on Tuesday rejected Canadian Robert Schellenberg's appeal against a death sentence for drug smuggling.
Schellenberg was detained by Chinese authorities in December 2014, charged with drug smuggling in January 2015, and sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2018.
In 2019, the Dalian Intermediate People's Court in China's Liaoning province retried Schellenberg, who had appealed his original sentence, and decided on execution.
A verdict for fellow Canadian Michael Spavor, who has been detained by China since late 2018 on suspicion of espionage, is expected to be announced later this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow.
Spavor was detained by Chinese authorities on Dec. 10, 2018 — nine days after Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies — was arrested while changing planes in Vancouver.
