Hugh Grant's former girlfriend Jemima Khan has led a protest against Pakistani leader Pervez Musharraf, demanding the release of her ex-husband Imran.

The 33-year-old British socialite - whose cricket legend former husband was arrested by authorities last week - was among dozens of demonstrators outside the Pakistan high commission in central London on Sunday.

Imran, 54, heads the country's Movement for Justice. He is among thousands jailed by Musharraf in a clampdown on opposition following the introduction of a state of emergency.

Jemima, who has helped to start the Free Pakistan movement, said: "This is brutality that we have never seen before in Pakistan." - Wenn
