   Meng Wanzhou has filed a civil claim against members of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the RCMP and the federal government, alleging "serious breaches of her constitutional rights" when she was detained, searched and interrogated at Vancouver International Airport in December.
   In the claim, filed Friday in B.C. Supreme Court, the embattled Huawei CFO says she is seeking damages for "misfeasance in public office and false imprisonment." It says Meng was held for three hours without explanation and without access to a lawyer before an RCMP constable told her why she was arrested.
