Canada has requested official mercy to his compatriot, Robert Lloyd Schellenberg, who has been sentenced to 15 years in prison before the crime of drug trafficking in Dalien, China, in the Chinese province.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said in an answer to the questions of journalists during his contacts in Quebec that China had made a formal request for compassion for Schellenberg to the Chinese ambassador in Ottawa.
"HUMAN PERSONAL DEATH"
Minister Freeland, Canada against the death penalty for many years, and continued to be consistent with his position on this issue, said:
"We think this is an inhuman and improper punishment, I spoke with the Chinese ambassador in Ottawa and I sent our official request for compassion Although Canada believes that the death penalty is wrong, it is clear that Canadians go in countries where the death penalty system is in the criminal justice system. "They must be aware."
Robert Lloyd Schellenberg was arrested in 2016 in Dalien, in the province of Liaoning, where he was arrested for drug trafficking and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The court, which examined the case of Schellenberg, who appealed against the tourist claiming to be a tourist and was accused by the criminals, accepted the appeal of the prosecutors at the hearing last month, which was "very light". The court ordered Schellenberg's sentence to be executed.
In a previous statement, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was "arbitrary" in practicing the death penalty, and Robert Lloyd announced that he would do everything in his power to save Schellenberg.
In other news, Schellenberg's family, who met Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, said she was worried that her son would be the "bargaining chip" in the tension that began with the imprisonment of Ms. Jung Shuin, chief financial officer of Huawei, December 1.
