Although he is in their country and follows their rules, it would be wrong for those of us in countries with human rights to not criticize.
I don't know if I disagree, but I was talking about the expectation that the Canadian government could do anything to help anyone before the trial gets to its conclusion.

About all a Canadian government Official can really do, even at a minister to minister level is request access, and ask for assurances of a fair trial.

Then if the person is found guilty work to get him to a Canadian Prison.

This is especially true in a case involving possible child molestation.
