华为起诉美国政府：16个部门都在拖！​

2020年11月06日 07:14 环球网

拖延公开孟晚舟案信息。

据加拿大广播公司4日报道，美国华盛顿特区联邦法院的一份起诉书显示，华为公司已在美国提出诉讼，控告美国政府16个部门故意拖延公开多份涉及孟晚舟被捕案的文件。这些文件包括美国多个部门之间就此案相关的通信记录，以及美国执法人员在加拿大实施拘捕行动前与加拿大骑警及加边境服务局的通信记录，这些文件将可能证明拘捕孟晚舟的背后存在政治动机。

报道称，华为指控特朗普政府阻止其向包括联邦调查局（FBI）、美国司法部、商务部、国务院、国土安全部在内的至少16家政府部门和机构提出信息披露请求。华为公司律师表示，有迹象表明，美国希望通过对华为及孟晚舟的刑事指控“达到与司法正义无关的政治目的”。

此外，华为还要求获得一些政府机构之间的相关文件，例如美国国土安全部、司法部以及白宫之间的联络文件，以及美国一些部门与参与调查或拘捕孟晚舟的加拿大当局的通信记录。起诉书中列举了一系列美国希望通过逮捕、引渡孟晚舟达到的目的，包括干涉华为公司在5G市场的优势地位、增加在与中国贸易谈判中的筹码等。华为的律师表示，上述通信记录可能证明对华为及孟晚舟的起诉依据是不合理的。目前，被起诉的美国政府部门没有任何回复。

报道称，华为表示，早在一年前就依据美国《信息自由法案》赋予的权利向美政府部门提出了12项信息披露要求，但几乎没有获得任何回复，尽管法律规定“申请快速处理的要求通常应在20个工作日内给予答复。”起诉书称，加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省最高法院就孟晚舟被捕和引渡案进行的审讯被全球媒体广泛报道，引发史无前例的关注，更加证明美国相关部门有必要尽快公开相关文件，“因为此案可能存在的很多问题一定程度上反映了政府诚信度影响公众的信心。”

Huawei sues U.S. over 'stonewalling' on Meng Wanzhou documents​

U.S. lawsuit claims multiple U.S. agencies ignored requests for information related to criminal case

Huawei is suing multiple U.S. government agencies to try to force the release of documents the company believes could reveal political motivations behind the arrest of its chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou.

In a complaint filed last week in federal district court in Washington, D.C., the telecommunications giant accuses the Trump administration of "stonewalling" numerous freedom of information requests to 16 agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce.

Huawei's lawyers say there are "signs" the U.S. wants to use criminal charges against the company and Meng "to advance policy objectives unrelated to the evenhanded administration of criminal justice."

In addition to inter-agency documents, the lawsuit also seeks communications between the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and "certain Canadian authorities that participated in the investigation or arrest of Ms. Meng."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/brit...ioned-the-arrest-of-a-telecom-giant-1.5067697
"These communications are primarily aimed at identifying communications that could indicate improper bases for the prosecution of [Huawei] and Ms. Meng," the lawsuit reads.

The complaint goes on to list what Huawei claims are the reasons for Meng's extradition, including interfering with Huawei's "dominance" in the 5G wireless market and strengthening the U.S. position in trade negotiations with China.

Meng was arrested on Dec. 1, 2018, after flying into Vancouver's airport on what was supposed to be a stopover on her way to Mexico City, with an ultimate destination of Argentina.

Meng is the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei.

Both she and Huawei are charged with fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC about the company's control of a subsidiary accused of violating U.S. economic sanctions against Iran.

HSBC had allegedly become concerned about the relationship after a series of Reuters articles detailing problems.

Prosecutors say HSBC continued financing Huawei because of lies Meng allegedly told one of the bank's executives in a PowerPoint presentation in 2013. As a result, HSBC was allegedly placed at risk of loss and prosecution.

The U.S. lawsuit aligns with efforts by Meng's Canadian defence team to have the extradition case tossed because of politicization and alleged violations of the 48-year-old's rights in the time leading up to her arrest.

Meng's lawyers have cited comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting he would be willing to use her as a bargaining chip in a trade war with China.

They have also accused Canadian authorities of conspiring to assist the FBI in its investigation by having Canada Border Services Agency officers use their extraordinary powers to question Meng for three hours without a lawyer before the RCMP arrested her.

Police and border services officers will continue testimony in B.C. Supreme Court later this month about the details of Meng's customs examination and the seizure of her phones.

Last week, a CBSA officer admitted to passing the code that unlocks both of Meng's phones to the RCMP by "mistake."

Her lawyers have also accused the RCMP of giving detailed technical information from Meng's electronic devices to the FBI.

'Questions about the government's integrity'​

The U.S. lawsuit claims Huawei made 12 requests more than a year ago under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, but has received almost nothing back, despite an "express requirement that agencies generally must act within 20 business days."

In addition to communications about Meng's arrest between Canada and the U.S. agencies, the company is also asking for communications about the indictment between the U.S. agencies and the White House.

The lawsuit cites the global coverage of the B.C. court proceedings as justification for an expedited need for the documents in question "on the ground that they involved matters of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government's integrity which affect public confidence."

While it covers much of the same ground, the U.S. lawsuit is a separate matter to the extradition proceedings currently underway in B.C. Supreme Court.

Huawei's U.S. lawyers are fighting the U.S. criminal charges against her and the company in New York. The U.S is arguing in B.C. that Meng should be sent to New York to stand trial.

Meng's Canadian lawyers will have a chance in February to argue the alleged violations of her rights can only be remedied by staying the extradition proceedings.

The CBSA and RCMP officers who have testified so far have denied any complicity and any improper information sharing with the FBI.

The U.S. agencies named in the lawsuit have not yet filed any responses to it.
Meng is currently living under a form of house arrest after being released on bail of $10 million.

She wears a monitoring bracelet on her ankle as part of her bail conditions and is watched by private security guards around the clock.

Meng has denied the allegations against her.

华为孟晚舟引渡案证人交叉质询周一继续展开​

华盛顿 — 在华为首席财务官、任正非女儿孟晚舟被加拿大警方应美国引渡要求拘捕近两周年之际，其引渡案的新一轮聆讯11月16日在温哥华展开，控辩双方将就执法部门在拘押孟晚舟过程中是否存在“程序滥用”问题，继续对证人进行交叉质询。

星期一开始的聆讯将持续10天，继续原本11月初结束的聆讯。由于上一轮质询超时，法庭认为有必要安排更多的聆讯。

上一轮证人质询聆讯10月26日开始，为期5天。加拿大边境服务局、皇家骑警的相关证人在庭上接受询问。加拿大司法部随后发布声明表示，此轮聆讯并非审判，法官也不会在聆讯结束时作出裁定。而聆讯中的证词可用于后续关于“程序滥用”的辩论。

华为公司为孟晚舟聘用的律师团认为，在孟晚舟被拘押过程中，存在“程序滥用”的问题，违反了孟晚舟应享有的基本权利，希望以此获得法庭中止引渡程序的裁决。

根据目前的法庭排期，关于此案中“程序滥用”是否成立的聆讯，将在2021年2月16日至3月5日进行。而关于是否引渡的聆讯，则将于2021年4月26日至30日举行。

加拿大法院已于10月上旬裁决支持加拿大司法部不向孟晚舟律师提供大部分涉及“保密特权”的文件，包括加美政府部门间相关电子邮件。

美国司法部指控华为公司及其首席财务官孟晚舟违反了美国对伊朗的制裁禁令，涉嫌银行欺诈，根据双边引渡协议要求加拿大协助拘捕，并引渡到美国接受审判。2018年12月1日，孟晚舟飞抵温哥华，准备中转前往南美洲，在机场被扣留后拘捕。

中国为了报复，2019年抓捕加拿大前外交官康明凯和商人斯帕弗。这被普遍视为中国的“人质外交”，以向加拿大施压释放孟晚舟，令加中关系跌入低谷。

中国在否认“人质外交”说法的同时，多次要求加拿大释放孟晚舟。此外，2019年还判决另外两名被控走私毒品的加拿大人死刑，同时禁止进口大批的加拿大农产品。

在加拿大与中国关系不断恶化之际，特鲁多总理（Justin Trudeau) 多次对中国的“胁迫外交”表达不满，最近一次则是在11月11日。特鲁多表示，中国就华为首席财务官孟晚舟事件向加拿大施压，但加拿大不会屈服于中国的“胁迫外交”。

上个月，加中爆发又一轮外交风波。中国驻加拿大大使丛培武10月15日在一次视频记者会上把香港亲民主抗议者说成暴徒，警告加拿大不要给他们政治庇护，还称如果加拿大真正关心在香港的30万加拿大护照持有人的健康与安全，以及大量在港的加拿大公司的利益，就应该支持中国政府为打击暴力犯罪所作的努力。

丛培武的说法引发巨大争议，招致加拿大朝野的严厉批评。加拿大批评中国采取“胁迫外交”，中国则驳斥说加拿大“纵容反华言论”

孟晚舟引渡案连续在加拿大温哥华联邦法院是否有权利逮捕孟晚舟，以及逮捕孟晚舟的程序是否违法等指控进行司法攻防战。新的进展称据一名加拿大官员揭露，加拿大警方不仅取得华为财务长孟晚舟的电子装置密码，还有孟晚舟在温哥华住宅的安全密码。辩护律师声称这已侵犯孟晚舟的权利。此前有消息说，孟晚舟被捕时是为探望其移民加拿大的子女及丈夫而在温哥华转机。据法新社报道，孟晚舟被捕后曾给一人打电话，告知取行李以及家中钥匙与安全密码。

据法新社报道，本月的听审，听取参与逮捕孟晚舟的警方与海关官员的证词。而加拿大警方如何取得孟晚舟住宅安全密码，交代不清。根据一名官员今天揭露，加拿大警方不仅取得华为财务长孟晚舟的电子装置密码，还有她在温哥华住宅的安全密码。辩护律师声称这已侵犯孟晚舟的权利。

负责引渡案保管证据的加拿大皇家骑警（RCMP）警官达利瓦尔（ Gurvinder Dhaliwal）在法庭上作证说，另名加拿大皇家骑警警官给了他这组安全密码，他说：「我完全不知道他是从那里取得。」达利瓦尔曾依据美国逮捕令，参与逮捕孟晚舟的行动。

达利瓦尔同时表示，在孟晚舟2018年12月1日被捕后3天，另名加拿大皇家骑警警官张本（Beng Chang，译音）寄电子邮件给他，要求他取得孟晚舟电子装置的序号和识别码，以交给美国联邦调查局（FBI）。

尽管孟晚舟的辩护律师团要求张本以证人身分出庭，但张本其后一直拒绝作证。

电邮新闻头条新闻就在您的每日新闻信里

根据法庭文件，张本最后寄给FBI有关孟晚舟落网的电邮，在他退休后便已删除。张本也否认将孟晚舟的电子装置密码提供给FBI。

法新社说，目前不清楚，加拿大当局曾利用孟晚舟住家的安全密码做了什么事。

孟晚舟两年来持续抗争，反对引渡到美国。她被控与违反美国对伊朗出口制裁禁令有关的诈欺罪名。

据法新社称，孟晚舟被捕后打电话给一个人，要求到温哥华机场取回她的行李，她住家的一串钥匙和写着安全密码的一张纸交给了那个人。

RCMP supervisor claims she saw no problem with delay in arrest of Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver​

Social Sharing​


Sgt. Janice Vander Graaf said earlier plan was for police to board Huawei exec's plane on arrival​

The RCMP sergeant who headed the foreign and domestic liaison unit responsible for Meng Wanzhou's arrest says she saw no problem with Canada Border Services Agency officers questioning the Huawei executive before she was taken into police custody.

Sgt. Janice Vander Graaf testified in B.C. Supreme Court Tuesday that the original plan she discussed with her supervisor would have seen RCMP officers board Meng's plane on arrival from Hong Kong in order to execute a provisional arrest warrant.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/brit...ioned-the-arrest-of-a-telecom-giant-1.5067697

But by the time she arrived at the airport on Dec. 1, 2018, Vander Graaf said her officers had agreed instead that the CBSA would intercept Meng once she got off the plane and then take her to a secondary examination area to begin an immigration admissibility examination.

"This seemed like a reasonable course of action and it seemed like a safe course of action," Vander Graaf said.

"[The CBSA] had to do what they had to do, and I didn't have any input on what they were planning on doing or what they needed to do for their job or their responsibility. So I had really no sense of the timeline of how long they would take."

Fraud and conspiracy charges​

Vander Graaf was testifying at a hearing to gather evidence in advance of extradition proceedings next year.

Defence lawyers plan to argue that the delay in the arrest amounts to a violation of Meng's rights because CBSA officers questioned her about her business without a lawyer, seized her electronic devices and asked her for the passcodes, which they later gave police in error.

Meng faces fraud and conspiracy charges in New York in relation to allegations that she lied to an HSBC executive about Huawei's control of a subsidiary accused of violating U.S. economic sanctions against Iran.

Prosecutors claim that by relying on Meng's alleged lies to continue financing Huawei, HSBC was placed at risk of loss and prosecution.

Vander Graaf is the third RCMP officer to testify so far.

She took the stand after two days of testimony from Const. Gurvinder Dhaliwal, one of the two officers who was tasked with executing a provisional warrant for Meng's arrest.

Conflicting evidence​

Dhaliwal was the exhibits officer responsible for making sure that Meng's phones and laptops were kept secure.

He and Vander Graaf are at the centre of conflicting evidence relating to defence allegations that RCMP improperly shared technical information about the electronic devices with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

In testimony, Dhaliwal claimed he took pictures of the serial numbers, make and model of the devices and then sent them to the RCMP's file coordinator and a supervisor, Staff. Sgt. Ben Chang.

Vander Graaf's contemporaneous notes later record Dhaliwal telling her that Chang provided the serial numbers to the FBI.

But Dhaliwal told a defence lawyer Tuesday that he had no recollection of Chang telling him he had sent the information — or of telling Vander Graaf it had happened.

Meng's lawyer, Scott Fenton, suggested that Dhaliwal did recall the conversation. But Dhaliwal said he was "positively sure" he didn't speak to Chang.

Chang has retained a lawyer and is refusing to testify, according to the defence.

'These things are fluid'​

By the close of proceedings on Tuesday, Crown prosecutor John Gibb-Carsley had not yet reached the topic of the discrepancy between Vander Graaf's notes and Dhaliwal's memory.

He dwelt instead on the circumstances surrounding Meng's arrest.

From the outset, Vander Graaf seemed to echo previous testimony in which RCMP officers have stated they were mainly concerned about safety considerations and ensuring CBSA officers were able to carry out their duties in an area that was under their jurisdiction.

The day before the arrest, she says she spoke with her supervisor, acting Insp. Peter Lea, who favoured boarding the plane directly in order to arrest Meng the moment her flight landed.

Vander Graaf said she didn't think it was the kind of emergency situation that would necessitate officers making the arrest on the plane.
She characterized Lea's idea as a "strong" suggestion.

"These things are fluid and other information arises," she said. "So I would suggest a course of action, but if there was a reason to change that then that would be fine."

In his testimony, Dhaliwal said he didn't see why Meng couldn't have been arrested as she walked off the plane, leaving the CBSA to conduct their examination after she had been cautioned of her rights.
The defence has repeatedly suggested that Canadian authorities deliberately delayed the execution of the warrant —which called for Meng to be arrested "immediately" — so the CBSA could gather information illegally for the FBI.

Meng's legal team will have a chance to make those arguments at a hearing on abuse of process sometime next spring.

Those proceedings were originally scheduled for February, but on Tuesday, the Crown said they anticipated a delay which might involve the calling of even more witnesses to respond to the evidence currently being heard.

Meng has denied the allegations against her.
