The Canadian ambassador to Saudi Arabia has met with a Canadian man who is facing a public beheading.
Ambassador Ron Davidson met today with Mohamed Kohail and members of his family to discuss Kohail's appeal of his murder conviction.
Foreign Affairs Department spokesman Rodney Moore says he cannot go into the specifics of the meeting, citing privacy issues.
The meeting comes a day after the lawyer for Kohail was threatened by judges and kicked out of the courtroom hearing Kohail's appeal.
Kohail's lawyer was ejected from the courtroom in Jidda on Monday after tabling a 27-page document before the same judges that rendered the execution order on March 3.
Kohail's family has argued that their son did not get a fair trial and says the entire case consisted of 10 court hearings totalling 90 minutes.
