The Islamic State group released Kurdish journalist Farhad Hamo Tuesday, three weeks after freeing the colleague with whom he was kidnapped in Syria, their employer said.
"This morning, Daesh (IS) militants released the Rudaw network's correspondent in Syria, Farhad Hamo, following a series of attempts by his family supported by Rudaw," the Kurdish channel said.
The network, based in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, did not provide further details.
Hamo was detained in mid-December with Massud Aqeel in northeastern Syria, where they were on assignment.
Aqeel was freed last month after what Rudaw said was a prisoner exchange between Kurdish forces and IS.
Reporters Without Borders ranked Syria 177th out of 180 in its 2015 press freedom index.
