PM irked as diplomats miss activist's hearing
Government says Canadian diplomats in Beijing and consular officials in Ottawa fumbled the ball

Both Canadian diplomats in Beijing and consular officials in Ottawa fumbled the ball last week when Huseyin Celil appeared in a Chinese court, a senior government official said Monday night in Ottawa.
