CARACAS, Dhu-AlQa'dah 25, 1435, Sep 20, 2014, SPA -- A high-profile imprisoned former Caracas police commissioner left jail on Saturday after a judge allowed him to continue his 30-year sentence from home due to frail health, Reuters cited his family as saying. Ivan Simonovis was convicted of participating in the assassination of four protesters during a march that triggered a brief coup against the late President Hugo Chavez in 2002. Freedom for Simonovis, 54, has been a rallying cry for Venezuela's opposition parties, who say he has been held in a tiny cell and needs urgent attention for osteoporosis. "My husband @Simonovis is at home with us, his family," his wife Bony Pertinez said in a Tweet. "The judge in charge granted @Simonovis home arrest ... so he can receive medical treatment." Simonovis is banned from using social media, holding political rallies or speaking with media, Pertinez added. The Supreme Court, however, said the measure was only temporary and he would return to prison once his health allowed. -- SPA 19:17 LOCAL TIME 16:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
