VANCOUVER—It's been a year of “fear” and “pain” for Meng Wanzhou, wrote the CFO of tech giant Huawei from the Vancouver home where she is under house arrest, on the one-year anniversary of her detention in Canada. Meng was arrested Dec. 1, 2018, on a request from the United States, while she was passing through Vancouver International Airport on her way to Mexico. The statement also praises Canadian officials for their “kindess” after her arrest, specifically thanking the correctional staff where she spent her initial hours. But Meng said she has also been heartened by the support she's recieved from Huawei staff and others. Shortly after their arrest, Swedish human-rights activist Peter Dahlin told the Star about his own experience in a similar detention facility.
