A human rights attorney says a German freelance journalist jailed in Venezuela since November as a suspected spy has been set free.
CARACAS, Venezuela — A German freelance journalist jailed in Venezuela since November on espionage charges was released Friday within weeks of two other reporters being expelled from the tumultuous South American nation, his parents and a human rights attorney confirmed.
“We are overjoyed!” his parents Ute and Edward Six posted on a Facebook, also railing against Germany’s foreign ministry for not doing enough to help their son who spent 119 days in solitary confinement.Resident of a Berlin suburb, Six has travelled the globe as an independent journalist for 12 years, publishing his reports in right-wing outlets. His arrest has generated little interest in mainstream German media, which relatives blame on his conservative affiliation.
A photo posted on Six’s Facebook page in May 2011 shows him holding a rocket-propelled grenade launcher on his shoulder, with a caption indicating it was taken on the front line of fighting in Syria.

RWE’s German carve-up looks better than E.ON’sA year after a 17 bln euro asset swap, the German utilities’ deal is in Brussels’ antitrust sights. It’s more an issue for E.ON, which may lose out if forced disposals erode hoped-for cost savings. RWE, meanwhile, seems to have chosen the right time to bulk up in renewables.
