Canada Condemns China's Execution of four Canadians
ai generated text
Canada has condemned the execution of four of its citizens in China for drug-related offences, with Foreign Minister Melanie Joly stating that the government strongly condemns the executions. The individuals were executed earlier this year and were dual citizens of Canada.
We will continue to engage with China as we'll continue to not only strongly condemn but also ask for leniency for other Canadians that are facing similar situations.
Canada strongly condemns China's use of the death penalty, which is irreversible and inconsistent with basic human dignity.
Canada repeatedly called for clemency for these individuals at the senior-most levels and remains steadfast in its opposition to the use of the death penalty in all cases, everywhere.
China always imposed severe penalties on drug-related crimes and maintains a 'zero tolerance' attitude towards the drug problem.
This is really a strong signal that China has no intention of patching things up with Canada.
