Canadian officials meet with detainee Michael Spavor in China for second time
OTTAWA — Canadian diplomats visited detained entrepreneur Michael Spavor on Tuesday, their second meeting since he was arrested in China last month for allegedly endangering national security.
They are providing services to Spavor and his family and will seek further access to him, Global Affairs Canada said in a statement.
The department is also trying to arrange another meeting with Michael Kovrig, himself a diplomat on leave from Global Affairs, who was similarly arrested by the Chinese on national-security grounds in December and has met just once with Canadian representatives.
