The “Faraday Bag” is a specially designed housing to prevent wireless signals from going in and out.
On October 27, The Guardian cited a Canadian police officer who witnessed Ms Meng’s arrest under the US extradition order, revealing that Washington had required data security on the woman’s phone and laptop to they cannot be removed remotely.
According to Royal Canadian Police Officer Winston Yep, the first witness to testify in the extradition, this person arrested Ms Manh when she was detained in Vancouver in December 2018. The Huawei executive was charged with sanctions-related bank fraud of the United States against Iran.

Yep told the British Columbia Supreme Court: “I received a request to detain Ms. Meng the day before her flight from Hong Kong … US authorities specifically asked the Canadian couple to confiscate their electronic devices. Ms. Manh, put them in a ‘Faraday bag’ designed to block any wireless transmission to prevent data from being remotely deleted.
Police added that they did not know too much about Ms Meng or China’s Huawei Group before the woman arrived in Canada. Because Ms. Manh is a senior member of the group, Mr. Yep’s supervisor is also present at the airport to ensure that no errors occur.
Meanwhile, Ms Manh’s lawyers claimed that there was a very serious violation of the arrest process. On the other hand, Huawei said that Ms. Meng is just a “pawn” in the trade war between the United States and China.
Huawei’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs in Canada, Alykhan Velshi, commented: “If she were not a director of a famous Chinese company, we do not believe that she would be arrested … She was detained for 3 hours without explanation, she was not allowed to see a lawyer, she was interrogated in a language that was not her mother tongue and was not told why she was detained.
Canadian officials were also convicted of “illegally confiscating, opening, searching, viewing and sharing content from Meng’s personal electronic devices,” allegedly violating the process.
Most attorneys believe that it may take years to resolve Ms. Manh’s case. And Huawei seems to think that the Canadian police and government are “complicit in a politically motivated US effort to intimidate them.”
