"...Joly, who said she spoke to the former detainees, was asked about their reaction to Canada’s diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. She avoided the question and explained there are issues related to the case that “have not been settled yet.” When pressed by interviewer David Common, Joly elaborated that, “Of course the two Michaels are on bail according to the criminal law in China, and so we want to make sure we work that out with the Chinese government.”
This is of course the fiction that Beijing would have everyone believe — that the arrest and nearly three-year detention of Spavor and Kovrig was justified as part of the routine operations of a normally functioning justice system, and completely unrelated to the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in B.C. on an American warrant. The notion that Spavor and Kovrig are out “on bail” — words that left Joly’s lips as if she truly believed them — is part of the lie that their release in September had nothing to do with Meng’s American plea deal...."
