Released Canadian’s lawyer clamouring for client’s case file

He added he fears that Ms. Mohamud is the victim of a “whisper campaign” from federal officials who are leaking unverified claims to the news media.

The government refused to comment on the matter yesterday, saying it is waiting for an internal report on the events.
