A news team of Al Jazeera (DStv 406 / TopTV 401) has been released after its four member team was detained in a prison in Niger, Africa for the past three days.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege and the rest of the news crew were held in the West African country's city of Zinder.
The correspondent and her team - cameraman Romuald Luyindula, producer Mohammed Abubakar and driver Rabiu Abdullahi - were held since Saturday in a cell without food or water.
They were filming and working on a story about refugees when they were detained, questioned and forced to hand over their material. After their equipment was returned, it was confiscated for a second time.
Al Jazeera earlier said that the 24-hour news channel "demands" the immediate release of its team.
