Dec. 10 will mark the one-year anniversary since China unjustly imprisoned Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and Canadian businessman Michael Spavor.

That was in retaliation for Canada nine days earlier honouring its extradition treaty with the United States by detaining Meng Wanzhou, CFO of the giant Chinese telecom company, Huawei Technologies, at Vancouver International Airport.

Wanzhou denies the allegations and her case could take years to resolve.

She is out on $10-million bail, living in one of her multi-million-dollar mansions in Vancouver, free to roam the city between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., provided she wears a GPS ankle bracelet and is accompanied by court-approved monitors.

By contrast, Kovrig and Spavor have been in jail since they were arrested and charged with espionage.
