China put to death 4 Canadian citizens for drug charges.
According to Canada, they said on Wednesday that China put to death 4 Canadians for drug smuggling charges from earlier this year, and they had the audacity to firmly deny Beijing’s use of the death. On the authority of Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, she told the reporters that the 4 had been dual citizens and confirmed that Ottawa would request mercy for the other Canadians facing the same destiny.
Confirmed by Foreign Minister Melanie Joly she said, “There are 4 Canadians that have been put to death; therefore, we’re solidly condemning
the whole situation,” and also included that the 4 citizens have been convicted of drug charges.
The Canadian Foreign Minister said that Robert Schellenberg, a Canadian man sentenced to be executed in 2019 for the charges of drug smuggling, has not been executed at the moment.
On the other hand, the China-Canada diplomatic relationship has been icy since 2018 when the chief financial officer of Chinese telecoms firm Huawei, Meng Wanzhou, was obstructed in Vancouver, Canada, where the Trump administration was requested, and shortly afterwards, China arrested 2 Canadians.
In 2021, the duo released Meng and the Canadian.
On the authority of earlier this month, an announcement from Beijing, he said tariffs are over $2.6 billion worth of Canadian agricultural and food products; they reciprocate against levies Ottawa slapped on Chinese electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products from last year. Combating drug-related offenses is a shared responsibility for all countries. Mao Ning, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson has confirmed this on Thursday and said in some urging detail from Canada, “respect the spirit of the rule of law and halt obstructing China’s judicial
sovereignty.”
Another thing that Mao added is that China treats those accused equally regardless of citizenship; it handles their cases without prejudice and strictly, on the other hand, of safeguarding their rights. Canada was making irresponsible mentions as a statement from the Chinese embassy in Ottawa. It is said without any confirming detail that any executions had taken place. China has always inflicted extreme penalties on any drug-related crimes, and it maintains a ‘0 tolerance’ on an attitude towards the drug problem.
