Alleged Canadian spy is released after two years in Chinese prisonMontreal, Canada -- A Canadian man arrested in China two years ago on charges of spying and stealing state secrets has been freed and is back home in Canada, his family said Thursday. "The Garratt family thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers, and also thanks the many individuals who worked to secure Kevin's release." Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed Garratt home, praising his family's "grace and resilience," especially that of Kevin and his wife. In late August, Trudeau said he had "highlighted" Garratt's case in meetings with Chinese leaders during a state visit to China. China's foreign ministry said the Intermediate People's Court in Dandong had ruled on Garratt's case on Tuesday.
