Amnesty International welcomed Wednesday the release of a Tunisian jailed for posting caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed but called for his sentence to be quashed and his name cleared. Jabeur Mejri, 29, was freed Tuesday, two years into a seven-and-a-half-year sentence. His release came two weeks after a presidential pardon. ?Jabeur Mejri?s release is a huge relief for his family and a victory for all the activists who have campaigned on his behalf across the globe," the London-based rights group said.
