Reports from Vancouver say the bail hearing for Meng Wanzhou has stalled over the Crown’s concerns, and seemingly of the judge as well, about the status of Meng’s husband, Mr. Lui, as a surety for Meng. His “lack of connection to the jurisdiction” is cited in tweets. This seems to mean that he is not Canadian. Meng will remain in jail until at least Tuesday. Earlier, Meng’s counsel proposed that his client be freed and then monitored by an electronic tracking device and private security firm team which is staffed with a former RCMP officer. The Crown says the Huawei executive has no connection to Canada and is a risk to flee the country. The judge is asking several questions about the suitability of Meng’s husband being her surety. It also appears that the hearing will continue into the afternoon and won’t be finished until 2 p.m. PST., 5 p.m. EST. Twitter
