Pakistan court grants bail to journalist detained after probing protest, lawyer says

An Islamabad anti-terrorism court has granted bail to Matiullah Jan in a terrorism and narcotics case, which was described as "bogus" on "trumped up charges" amid calls for his release.
The Islamabad High Court suspended Jan's two-day physical remand, which had been granted to the police, and ordered him to be sent on judicial remand.
Amnesty International stated Jan's detention was "an affront on the right to freedom of expression and media freedom," while the CPJ expressed alarm over his "abduction" linked to his journalism.
