British man Andargachew Tsege, who has been on death row in Ethiopia for 4 years, has been released from prison after being pardoned.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:
I am pleased Andargachew Tsege is now able to reunite with his loved ones after being separated from them for so long.
His case has been a priority for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and our staff have worked tirelessly to support him and his family throughout his detention.
Recent moves by the Ethiopian Government send a positive signal that they remain serious about following through with promised reforms to increase political space.
