| A US federal judge has ordered the release of the country's longest-serving solitary confinement prisoner, after 43 years.
Albert Woodfox, 68, was placed in solitary confinement at Louisiana State Penitentiary on April 18, 1972 after being charged in the death of a guard during a prison riot.
In November, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned Woodfox's conviction, but he was charged again at state level in February.
US District Judge James Brady ordered Woodfox's unconditional release, and barred any further trial on the murder charges.
"Evidence supporting claims of Mr Woodfox's innocence gives this Court even more reason to question his two previously overturned convictions," Brady wrote in his order.
