Extradition

Lai Changxing, China's most wanted fugitive, was detained by the Canadian border security officers amid reports that he could soon be sent back to China. Canadian immigration authorities determined that he was not at risk of being tortured if returned to China after the Chinese Government pledged to allow Canadian officials to visit Lai regularly after his repatriation. The Canadian FM said Canada's justice system must be allowed to "fairly and independently take its course", which in this case means 12 years and counting.
