Lawyer of Syrian refugee released amid Kingston terror probe says his client shouldn't be maligned

The lawyer of a Syrian refugee who was arrested and later released amid an RCMP terrorism investigation in Kingston, Ont., is imploring the public not to malign his client and urging lawmakers not to play politics with the case. Hussam Eddin Alzahabi, 20, was arrested after RCMP raided the home of his family, refugees who fled to Canada from Syria with the help of sponsorship by four churches. He was released without charge Friday as the investigation continues.
