Any trial would have been in NaGstan. As many understand, many walk free with no trial in NaGstan.

Which are what, and imposed/managed by who, Canada or NaGastan?

The Chinese have released a couple of statements in the last twelve hours that may be food for thought. I suspect their comments are more of the usual bullshit but they are bound to prompt discussion, particularly here. The Chinese are saying the two Canadian 'hostages' were released on humanitarian/health considerations. The are also saying that the Americans didn't insist on the release of the two Canadians as part of the deal. Probably stinky bullshit both statements but they will have to be aired out nevertheless, given they come from a high level official source. I'll try to find some links.
