Columbia: A Canadian judge has denied demand from senior executives for giant Chinese communication Huawei Technologies to submit new evidence into his extradition hearing.
“This application was rejected,” said Judge Heather Heather Holmes, said Friday.
Holmes said the reason for the rejection would be issued in 10 days.
Canada arrested Meng Wanzhou, the Head of the Huawei Finance, who is also the founding daughter of the company, at Vancouver Airport on December 1, 2018, at the request of A.S., who wants it to be extradited to face fraud charges.

Meng said fraud by misleading HSBC banks about business transactions companies in Iran.
The lawyer asked the court to allow evidence recently to obtain evidence from HSBC through a court agreement in Hong Kong.
These documents include the internal e-mail chain and spreadsheets debated by the MEMBER team showing more senior executives about Huawei’s control over other companies that do business in Iran than prosecutor claims.
During hearing in June, defense lawyers said new evidence would be “fatal” weakening the case against Meng.
Canadian government lawyers argue that the evidence is more suitable for trial, not extradition hearing.
Meng will return in court.

Both remained detained with limited access to visits by Canadian Consular officials.
Both of them made a court appearance closed meeting during the past week.
