The world's most high-profile political prisoner, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, former President of Brazil, has been freed from jail pending his appeals of his convictions for corruption and money laundering related to a property sale.
The Supreme Federal Court ruled that anyone convicted of a crime could not be imprisoned until all appeals had been exhausted.
