Huawei's Meng Wanzhou sues Canada authorities over arrest bbc.com

The chief financial officer of China's tech giant Huawei is suing Canada over her arrest at Vancouver airport last year at the request of the US. Meng Wanzhou was detained in December on suspicion of fraud and breaching US sanctions on Iran. US authorities are seeking to extradite the Chinese national. But Ms Meng has now filed a civil claim against Canada's government, border agency and police for "serious breaches" of her civil rights. China has attacked her arrest and the extradition process as a "political incident". Ms Meng denies all the charges against her.
