The Argentine government has released prominent newspaper
publisher Jacobi) Timerman, who had spent a year wider detention
for =specified economic crimes. Timerman's case had become
a symbol of human right: violations in both Argentina and
the United States, and Its release could contribute to an
easing of bilateral diplomatic tensions regarding the issue.
He has been placed under house arrest, but press reports claim
that he hopes to leave the country in 0,e near future.
