Global National: Aug. 10, 2021 | Family still hopeful as Canadian’s death sentence upheld in China

Their cases are widely seen as retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou at the request of the U.S. China is also accused of using Canadian Robert Schellenberg as a pawn in the Meng case. He had been facing 15 years in prison on drug charges. But after Meng’s arrest he was re-tried and sentenced to death. Yesterday a Chinese court upheld his death sentence. Jeff Semple has more.
