CNN
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was granted an extension of his pre-arrest bail on Thursday while police investigate whether he violated anti-terror laws.
The news was celebrated by hundreds of Khan's supporters, who rallied outside the Anti-Terrorism Court in the capital, Islamabad, where the ousted leader's arrival was met with a heavy security presence.
The court extended Khan's pre-arrest bail until September 1, which means he cannot be arrested before then.
