Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Jan, 2016 12:03 PM
    TORONTO — China's official news agency says a Canadian has been accused of spying and stealing China's state secrets.
     
    Xinhua says Kevin Garratt has been indicted by prosecutors in Dandong city in northeast China's Liaoning province.
     
    The report  said that during an investigation Chinese authorities found evidence that implicates Garratt in accepting tasks from "Canadian espionage agencies to gather intelligence in China."
     
    Garratt has been detained since August 2014 by Chinese authorities.
     
    He was arrested along with his wife, Julia, who was released on bail in February 2015.  
     
    Shortly after they were detained, one of their sons, Simeon Garratt, said he knew of "no possible scenario I can think of that makes it plausible'' that his parents would be stealing state secrets about military and national defence research.
