| Meng Wanzhou on her way to court in Vancouver in September, as part of her fight against extradition to the US |
A Chinese Huawei executive who was
arrested in Canada a year ago has published an open letter detailing her
life on bail and thanking supporters.
In her widely read letter, she said she had time to "read a book" and "complete an oil painting" while on bail. Her arrest sparked a diplomatic row.
China has always said the charges against Ms Meng are politically motivated. Shortly after her arrest, two Canadians were detained in China, but Beijing says the cases are not related to Ms Meng.
Michael Spavor, a consultant with links to North Korea, and Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat who works for an NGO, are accused of spying - although Canada has called their detention "arbitrary".
They are being held in a detention centre and are allowed only infrequent visits from consular staff. On Monday, Mr Kovrig's employer tweeted that he had yet to see a lawyer or his family.
In April, it was reported that both men were being interrogated for between six to eight hours a day, and were sometimes subject to 24-hour artificial lighting.
In July, guards reportedly confiscated Mr Kovrig's reading glasses.
