A Japanese journalist who was detained in Myanmar and charged with spreading false news during a crackdown on media after a military coup in February returned to Japan on Friday, according to Asahi TV.

Yuki Kitazumi, who was picked up from his home by troops and taken into custody in Yangon last month, arrived at Narita Airport outside Tokyo a little after 10:30 p.m., according to a broadcast on the channel.

Myanmar's state-run MRTV said earlier that Kitazumi had broken the law but would be released in recognition of Myanmar's close relationship with Japan.
