Breaking news
Hu Jia - one of China's most prominent dissidents - has been released from prison, his wife says.
Zeng Jingyan said he had now reunited with his family in Beijing.
Hu Jia, 37, served three-and-a-half years in prison for "inciting subversion". His term had been set to end on Sunday.
The move follows the release of prominent artist Ai Weiwei on Wednesday. It also comes as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is visiting Europe.
