An Ottawa man arrested last week during a domestic terrorism probe will appear in court again Tuesday on unrelated charges.

He was granted bail, then immediately rearrested by Ottawa police on identical charges related to a separate incident.

After hearing evidence from the Crown, a justice of the peace adjourned Peshdary's bail hearing until Tuesday.

The Iraqi-born Canadian had been arrested last week as part of a terrorism investigation but was not charged with any terrorism-related offences, unlike three other men taken arrested about the same time.

Instead, Peshdary was released and rearrested on charges of assault and making a threat, neither charge related to terrorism.

A publication ban prevents the media from describing the evidence against him.

On Sunday, members of Ottawa's Muslim community came out to the courthouse to support Peshdary.

Some people expressed frustration with police and with the process. Troy Rambaran said he knows the man and his family.

"Look, the person's innocent till proven guilty," Rambaran said. "If he's not guilty, then you gotta let him go."

The man's lawyer, Richard Morris, said he is "disappointed."

"The Crown's position is that they haven't had the time to do a complete review of the material available to them in order to lay the appropriate number of charges," Morris said.

"My view is that the Crown's had lots of time to do this, and that … yes, they are dragging things out unnecessarily," he said.

Never in trouble before: lawyer

Morris said his client has never been in trouble with the law before, and said the experience has left the man depressed.

"Right now is Ramadan, meaning he's fasting during daylight hours and breaking fast after darkness falls, and then when darkness falls he's found himself unable to eat. And as you may imagine that presents a concern both to my client and to myself."

Three Ontario men are facing charges in the terrorism case after being arrested last week.

Hiva Mohammad Alizadeh, 30, and Misbahuddin Ahmed, 26, both of Ottawa, and Khurram Syed Sher, 28, of London, Ont., are accused of conspiring to facilitate terrorism with others in Canada, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Dubai over the past two years. Those three men will be in court Wednesday.

CBC's Margaret Evans reported Monday that Sher did a three-week elective rotation in 2008 in the pathology department of the Maqassed hospital in East Jerusalem as part of his medical studies at McGill University. The hospital is the primary-care facility for Palestinians from Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.

Naifa Dawod, a lab technician who worked with Sher, said she was shocked to hear of the allegations against him.

"What I remember about him he is a good guy, said Dawod. "And he work, you know, faithfully and work hard, and he likes his job."
