The distressing tale of Brenda Martin, a 51-year-old Canadian who has been languishing in a Mexican prison, finally has garnered the long-overdue attention of the Canadian government.

Jason Kenney, the minister responsible for multiculturalism, was in Mexico for two days last week to meet with the attorney general’s office to discuss the case.
