A 34-year-old woman in El Salvador has been freed after spending 15 years in jail for having an abortion.
Maira Verónica Figueroa Marroquín was released after her 30-year sentence for aggravated murder was reduced.
Abortion is banned in El Salvador, a predominantly Roman Catholic nation, in any circumstances.
Ms Figueroa always maintained her innocence. She said she suffered a stillbirth in a house where she was working as a maid in 2003.
