A young Christian girl accused burning pages of the Koran, Islam's holy book, has been freed from a jail near the capital, according to a Pakistani jail official.
The release comes a day after a judge granted her bail.
Mushtaq Awan said the girl left the prison in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near Islamabad, on Saturday afternoon.
She has been held for a little over three weeks after neighbours accused her of violating the country's strict blasphemy law.
She was taken from the prison in an armoured vehicle and whisked to a waiting helicopter while covered with a sheet to protect her identity.
