A female Somaliland journalist who had been jailed for one year is finally free.
Bushaaro Baanday, sentenced to a one-year imprisonment, left prison on Tuesday.
A Hargeisa court sentenced her to a jail term of one year after finding her guilty of posting false information on social media.
However, she had already served three months behind bars after being arrested on May 15.
She paid a fine in exchange for the remaining 9 months of her prison sentence to walk out free.
Her arrest and subsequent detention had attracted the ire of several media rights organisations in Somaliland.
