NSTworld The father of a prominent Pakistani activist who fled to the United States was released on bail on Tuesday, his family and lawyers said, a month after he was arrested for allegedly spreading hate of the state on social media.

Muhammad Ismail was detained on Oct. 24 after leaving a court in the northwestern city of Peshawar. He is accused of uploading material to his Facebook page"prejudicial to the interests of the State institutions", according to a court document seen by Reuters.

A top U.S. government official had previously expressed concern about harassment faced by Ismail's family from unknown parties, and rights group Amnesty International has called the charges against her father"trumped up".
