Two Chinese courts are expected to deliver long-awaited verdicts in the cases of Canadians Robert Schellenberg and Michael Spavor, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

A verdict for Schellenberg, who has been sentenced to death over drug smuggling charges, is expected Monday at 9 p.m. ET, which is 9 a.m. Tuesday in China.

The source said a verdict for Spavor, who has been detained by China since late 2018 on suspicion of espionage, is expected to be announced later this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow.
