Sanctions imposed by the U.S that hold no merit according to WTO or International law aren't even legal and are in fact considered an act of war. The only crime committed here is by the U.S.

Meng's arrest is for actions she allegedly took to help Iran evade sanctions years ago, during the period in which U.N. sanctions on Iran were in force.

The US sanctions limiting export of US tech to Iran have nothing to do with the WTO or 'International Law'.

Meng has apparently comitted a serious crime according to US law by exporting US-made tech to Iran.

If this is proven to be true, she's clearly violating the law, and surely knowingly so.
