Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday said he is “disappointed” in China’s decision to formally lay charges against Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, two Canadians in "arbitrary detention" for well over a year in China on allegations of espionage.

Speaking at a news conference in Quebec, Trudeau said that the government is doing everything they can to get the “two Michaels home.”

Chinese prosecutors said Friday that Kovrig was charged on suspicion of spying for state secrets and intelligence. Spavor was charged on suspicion of spying for a foreign entity and illegally providing state secrets.

Both men have been held in China since December 2018.
