China sentenced another Canadian to death on drugs charges Friday, the second in two days to be handed the punishment, as tensions soar between Beijing and Ottawa.

Last year, China also sentenced two other Canadians to death on drug trafficking charges as ties have deteriorated between the two countries on a number of fronts, including the arrest of top Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. “We oppose it clearly and always, everywhere around the world. We believe it is a cruel and inhumane punishment,” she said.
