REPORT: Egypt's satirist Bassem Youssef freed on bail
          
Egypt satirist Bassem Youssef has been released on bail on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, prosecutors in Egypt questioned the Egyptian satirist over alleged insults to the president and to religion.                

Youssef, whose weekly program Albernameg (The Show) continued to challenge the authorities even as he arrived at the prosecutor's office.                

He arrived wearing a huge version of a hat worn by President Morsi earlier this month when he received an honorary doctorate from a university in Pakistan.                  

The public prosecutor issued on Saturday an arrest warrant for Youssef following several legal complaints against him relating to the material used on his show.                  

Youssef is accused of offending Islam by "poking fun of the prayer ritual" and of insulting President Morsi by "making fun of his international standing."
