Canada judge blocks attorney general's attempt to dismiss Meng Wanzhou's arguments

Judge declines to dismiss case against Huawei CFO but says assertion that US misrepresented evidence for extradition has air of reality'

A judge has blocked an attempt by Canada's attorney general to dismiss parts of the extradition case against Huawei's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, according to a ruling released on Thursday.

However, the judge sided with the attorney general in agreeing that Meng's arguments were not strong enough to warrant an immediate dismissal of the case to extradite to the US for trial on fraud charges.
