Former MP Han Dong says he can move on after settling lawsuit against Global News
- Former MP Han Dong settled his two-year defamation lawsuit against Global News concerning allegations by confidential sources in early 2023.
- The lawsuit stemmed from Global News reporting that Dong advised a Chinese diplomat in 2021 to delay freeing Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, allegations Dong denied.
- In March 2023, Dong departed from the Liberal caucus to serve as an Independent MP and later chose not to run in the federal election held on April 28, 2025.
- An Ontario Superior Court judge in June 2024 found no documented evidence supporting the allegations, and the federal inquiry’s classified intelligence corroborated Dong’s denial.
- Following the settlement, Dong stated his family can move on, while Global News acknowledged the federal inquiry findings and the report was intended to address unproven allegations.
