Canadian citizen Robert Lloyd Schellenberg attended a hearing in Liaoning province on Thursday to appeal his death sentence for smuggling more than 222 kilograms of illegal drugs.

The Liaoning High People's Court said in a statement that it informed the Canadian embassy in Beijing in accordance with the law and protected Schellenberg's legitimate rights during the public hearing. For example, it allowed the Canadian to hire two lawyers and arranged an interpreter.

More than 50 people, including embassy officials and deputies to the National People's Congress, witnessed the hearing, it said.
