An Appeal Court had sentenced Kareche on October 11 to six months in prison, six months suspension, and a two-month reduction from his original sentence.

His release came as he had already served much of sentence during his trial and appeal.

Kareche was arrested in April after reporting that the Tuareg, a Berber minority who have long complained of economic and social marginalisation, had protested over “expropriation” of their historical lands.

He was sentenced on August 12 to eight months behind bars plus four months suspension for “spreading false information liable to damage public order”.

He was also accused of posting reports that could trigger “segregation and hatred within society”.

“I’m the victim of a grave injustice,” Liberte quoted him saying as he left prison.

“I did nothing more than my job as a journalist with professionalism,” he added.

Algeria ranks a lowly 146th out of 180 countries on the Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index.
