Pervez Musharraf pays bond, release papers issued
ISLAMABAD, Nov. 6 (UPI) --Former Pakistani PresidentPervez Musharrafsubmitted $2,000 in surety bonds Wednesday, and jail officials received orders to release him, Geo News reported.
A judge granted bail to Musharraf Monday and he was expected to be released late Wednesday, Geo News said.
As part of his release, Musharraf will be on the interior ministry's exit control list meaning he's not allowed to leave the country before his trial.
