A former Philippine senator is home after nearly seven years in detention.
Leila de Lima was granted bail, after a court found evidence used to charge her with drug trafficking was weak.
Rights groups say the charges are politically motivated - following her criticism of former president Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.

Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from the Bicol region in the Philippines.
