Model Ayaan Ali released from prison


(MENAFN- Arab News) ISLAMABAD: A top Pakistani model Ayaan Ali was freed from a high-security jail near the capital Thursday four months after she was caught trying to fly to Dubai with half a million dollars in cash stashed in her luggage a defense lawyer said.
Ali 21 has been in the government custody since March when authorities nabbed her at the VIP lounge of Islamabad's airport.
Under Pakistani laws no one can carry over $10000 on a flight but authorities found $506800 tucked into her luggage at the time.
On Thursday Ali's lawyer Latif Khosa said his client was freed from the Adyala Jail in Rawalpindi a city near Islamabad.
'Yes I can confirm that Ayaan Ali has been freed under an order from the Lahore High Court' Khosa told The Associated Press.
He said the court granted bail to Ali on Tuesday but the model was released on Thursday after her paperwork was completed.
