Islamabad - Pakistani authorities on Thursday freed the hard-line cleric at Islamabad's radical Red Mosque, Maulana Abdul Aziz, a day after the Supreme Court granted him bail.
Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Asadullah Faiz told German Press Agency dpa that police had been withdrawn from Aziz's residence in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
"He is a free man now, and he can go wherever he wants," he added.
Hundreds of Aziz's followers gathered outside his residence, where he had been in detention, as the hard-line cleric drove away in a vehicle to an undisclosed location.
