VANCOUVER: Lawyers for Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, is asking the B.C. Supreme Court to order the release of more secretly-kept information related to her arrest at Vancouver airport in 2018 - which observers said that would be key for Meng’s extradition case and decisive whether she could be set free.

In documents filed with the court, the defense team argued that Meng “reasonably believes that many documents are the subject of excessive redactions and overly broad claims of privilege. It is likely that there is redacted information that is relevant to her abuse of process allegations,” according to media reports.
