Kidd admits he doesn’t know if the cards he sent will make it to them, but he’s sure there are “bales” of cards addressed to Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig sitting in the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China.
Spavor and Kovrig have been held in custody for just over two years, indicted under state secrets laws. Their arrests are widely regarded as an act of retaliation against Canada for its arrest of Huawei telecom executive Men Wanzhou, and is considered by many as an instance of “hostage diplomacy.”
