A Chinese national arrested in Pakistan on charges of committing blasphemy has been freed from a high-security prison after an anti-terrorism court granted him bail, officials said on Friday.
The court order came on a day when China’s new Premier Li Qiang held talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday.
Judge Sajjad Ahmad Jan in the northwestern city of Abbottabad on Thursday granted the bail to the suspect identified as Tian after he furnished a bond of Rs 200,000 as surety.
He was later taken to an undisclosed location due to security reasons.
