Bamako, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Jul, 2020 ) :Political opposition leaders detained in Mali after violent protests against President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on Friday have been released, their lawyers said on Monday.

Alifa Habib Kone, one of the lawyers representing the opposition figures, said that three of his clients had been released on Monday.
