Then the government can probably appeal directly to what passes for the justice member over there to review the case and to work on bringing the prisoner home to complete his sentence. At its most extreme they can go after the diplomatic relationship over there, and apply sanctions and reduce aid. Are you saying this is what they should have done?
But the Canadian government can't do much during the trial, they can make sure that they have adequate council, and observe the trial but that's about it.
