A Tunisian judge released on Friday a journalist who refused to reveal his sources and who was imprisoned for a week, the country's main journalism union said.
The anti-terrorism police detained last week Khelifa Guesmi, a radio reporter, for refusing to reveal his sources on a story about militants.
The reporter's imprisonment sparked widespread anger among human rights organizations, which warned of a serious threat to press freedom. The journalists' union has said freedom is seriously threatened adding that state media will go on strike next week because of what it called attempts by President Kais Saied to control state television.
