Huawei sues US government over equipment, services ban
Huawei has filed a lawsuit against the US government on Wednesday night.

The lawsuit has been filed in Texas challenging a recent US law that bans federal agencies from buying its products.

The lawyers for Wanzhou allege that their client was detained, searched and interrogated for three hours in violation of her constitutional rights. The arrest of Wanzhou on December 1 in Vancouver at the request of the United States has now taken another dramatic turn.
