Hong Kong media reported Tuesday that journalist Ching Cheong, who was jailed in mainland China on spying charges, has been released and will return to Hong Kong.
Officials in China have notified the Hong Kong government that Ching was released on parole, broadcaster RTHK quoted a government spokesman as saying.
He is allowed to return home before Lunar New Year, RTHK reported.
Ching, a correspondent for The Straits Times in Singapore, was detained during a visit to the southern city of Guangzhou in April 2005, and stood trial in a one-day proceeding.
