Baku-APA. The lawyer for a jailed Venezuelan newspaper editor says a judge has ordered his client to be freed pending trial, APA reports quoting AP.

Lawyer Pedro Aranguren tells the Globovision television channel it is not yet clear when Leocenis Garcia will be released.

Garcia was arrested on charges of insulting public officials after his 6to Poder newspaper published a front-page photo montage portraying several female officials as cabaret dancers in revealing skirts and high heels. Among them were the Supreme Court president and elections chief.

The article accused the supposedly independent officials being subordinate to President Hugo Chavez.

Aranguren said Monday that Garcia was "unjustly jailed for a journalistic opinion."
