Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted angrily Friday to China's two-year detention and closed-door trial for a Canadian man on espionage charges, saying it is "completely unacceptable." "Let me be very clear," the Canadian leader told a news conference after a three-hour trial of Michael Spavor, one of two Canadians detained by Beijing. "Their arbitrary detention is completely unacceptable, as is the lack of transparency around these court proceedings." Spavor's compatriot Michael Kovrig is scheduled to go to trial on Monday. amc/ft
