Son of Canadian couple appeals to Ottawa
Print Edition
THE son of a Canadian couple under investigation for alleged spying in China yesterday called for Ottawa to help prevent charges being laid against his parents.
Kevin and Julia Dawn Garratt “are suspected of gathering and stealing intelligence materials about China’s military objectives and important national defence research projects”, the foreign ministry has said.
The Christian couple runs a coffee shop in northeast China’s Dandong, on the North Korea border.
“I really hope the Canadian government puts some resources into it and tries to resolve it quickly,” Simeon Garratt said.
“The longer it goes on it’s exponentially worse for my parents.”
The cafe, Peter’s Coffee House, overlooks the Yalu River and Friendship Bridge linking China and North Korea, and the “T” in its name is in the shape of a crucifix, with a backdrop resembling a stained-glass window.
The couple has been active in helping send humanitarian aid to North Korea, their son said.
The Canadian Embassy in Beijing has said it is “monitoring developments closely.”
