South African investigative journalist Micah Reddy is released from police custody in Djibouti and is unharmed, with his family and relatives saying he is on his way back to South Africa.

Reddy, who works with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), was detained on Saturday, according to the reports. Multiple outlets cite statements from his brother or family members confirming his safety and release, but the articles provide limited additional details on the circumstances of his detention.

Across the coverage, the focus is consistent on the outcome—Reddy’s release and safe return—as well as the timeline: detainment in Djibouti followed by his departure home. One outlet frames the development as Djibouti freeing him, while others emphasize that he is released and travelling home, without detailing official reasons or charges.
