The Straits Times:

Ms Meng Wanzhou suffers from  hypertension and struggles to eat solid food. She has a sleep disorder. She is willing to put up a couple of multi-million-dollar homes as collateral.

Those are some of the arguments lawyers are wielding in a closely watched attempt to free the Huawei Technologies finance chief. Her arrest on Dec 1 unsettled global markets and thrust China’s largest technology company into the heart of sensitive negotiations between the world’s two largest economies.

In court filings, her attorneys paint a picture of a cancer survivor who has undergone multiple surgeries and needs daily medication to cope with a plethora of health issues, while outlining how her entire family has deep roots in Vancouver, where she is being held.

The chief financial officer's bail hearing resumes on Monday (Dec 10) in the Canadian city after last Friday’s proceedings yielded no result.

The 46-year-old mother of four, accused of guiding a global effort to mask violations of sanctions on sales to Iran, has languished in jail since her arrest. It is an unprecedented effort to hold accountable a senior executive who is considered part of China’s inner circle – the daughter of billionaire Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei.

Ms Meng’s lawyers argue their client has no criminal record and does not pose a flight risk.
