Ethiopian pop star Afro released from prison

State-run Ethiopian television showed footage of the 33-year-old walking out of prison in Kaliti, 14 kilometres (9 miles) south of the capital Addis Ababa.
Afro, who is associated with Ethiopia's opposition, was arrested in April 2008. He had pleaded not guilty, saying he was out of the country at the time.
Teddy Afro broke into the Ethiopian music scene in 2001. He has made three albums and a number of singles in various styles.
