Malaysian authorities on Wednesday released former Bangladesh high commissioner Mohamed Khairuzzaman from a detention in Kuala Lumpur, according to his lawyer.
On Tuesday, a Malaysian High Court bench issued an interim order asking the immigration department to refrain from deporting Khairuzzaman from the country.
Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan issued the order after a brief hearing on a writ petition submitted by lawyers of Khairuzzaman.
He was detained by the immigration police from his residence in Selangor on the outskirts of the capital of the country on February 9.
