Abducted Lahore journalist freed

    A Pakistani journalist has been freed after she was kidnapped in Lahore.

    Gul Bukhari, who has openly criticised the country’s military, was on her way to work when she was abducted.

    A colleague claimed men in “army uniforms” were present at the incident, as well as men in plain clothes.

    Several hours later a statement posted on Twitter by a relative said she was well and requested privacy.
