A BBC reporter has been found guilty in Tajikistan of complicity in the activities of a banned Islamist organisation, Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Urunboy Usmonov was sentenced to three years in jail, but the judge granted him an amnesty and ordered his release.
Usmonov's arrest in June sparked international condemnation - the BBC has strongly condemned the verdict.
