Two Christians who were on trial in Algeria for breaking Ramadan fasting rules have been cleared of wrongdoing.
Human rights groups had said the trial was a violation of international conventions on freedom of religion.
Hocine Hocini and Salem Fellak were arrested in August during the month of Ramadan, after they were seen eating lunch on the building site where they worked in Kabylie, northern Algeria.
Breaking the fast can be punished by up to three months in jail in Algeria.
