Marchers Walk 7,000 Steps for Canadian Pair Detained by China

OTTAWA - Hundreds of supporters of two Canadian men being held on what Ottawa says are specious charges marched 7,000 steps through the Canadian capital on Sunday to mark the pair's 1,000th day of "unjust" detention in China. 

Similar events in support of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were held elsewhere in Canada and across the world in cities including Brussels, New York, Washington, Seoul and Singapore.  "These are unjust detentions," Kovrig's wife Vina Nadjibulla told AFP.  "These marches are about solidarity with our Michaels, they're about honoring their strength and resilience and also calling for action to finally break the stalemate, to bring them home and do everything possible to end this injustice," Nadjibulla said at the start of the rally.
