Two British journalists working for Press TV have been released after four weeks in detention in Libya.
Gareth Montgomery-Johnson and Nicholas Davies had been arrested by a Libyan militia group, accused of spying.
According to Britain’s Guardian newspaper, Abed al-Menemayad, head of the media and international cooperation office at the Interior Ministry, said: “They have been released and tomorrow they will leave the country.”
“The British consul received them and the charges against them have been dropped.”
The British embassy in Tripoli confirmed the release, adding: “The journalists have confirmed that they are well and look forward to being reunited with their families soon”.
