3,000 Pakistan activists released from jail
More than 3,000 people jailed in Pakistan under emergency rule have been released, the Interior Ministry said today, in the latest sign that President Pervez Musharraf is rolling back some of the harsher measures he has taken against his opponents.
The Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema would not say how many opposition members were still behind bars, though the number was still believed to be in the hundreds or thousands.
