Journalist Laxman Choudhury of the daily Sambad was finally freed on bail Thursday after being held for ten weeks in Gajapati district in Orissa. Released on the orders of the Orissa high court, he is still facing a sedition charge because the local police found Maoist leaflets in his possession.
On leaving prison, Choudhury thanked all of his colleagues who campaigned for his release.
