Imran Khan to be released from custody, court rules - BBC News

Pakistan's ex-prime minister Imran Khan has been freed from custody, a day after the Supreme Court ruled his dramatic arrest on corruption charges was illegal.

Judges released Mr Khan on protected bail, meaning he can not be re-arrested for at least two weeks.

Earlier, Mr Khan told the BBC he believed he would be detained again immediately after his release.

The 70-year-old's arrest escalated tensions between him and the military.
