The North Atlantic Alliance is following with attention and concern the case of the Canadians detained in China and expects them to be treated fairly and in accordance with legal procedures, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday in Bucharest, in reply to a question on the subject.
NATO allies, Canada and the US included, have made it very clear that China must immediately release the two Canadians detained in December, and are calling on Beijing to address Canada's request. This is about fundamental values: freedom, democracy, rule of law. Therefore we are following this case with care and concern. NATO expects its citizens to be treated fairly and with due process. This is an agreement expressed by most allies. We are highly concerned that these citizens have been detained, we want them to be treated fairly, with the respect of the law, Jens Stoltenberg said during a press conference delivered together with President Klaus Iohannis at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace.
