Rebels release journalist
NZPA-Reuter Lisbon Mozambican Right-wing rebels have freed a British journalist they had held for two years on charges of spying for Mozambique’s Marxist Government, a rebel spokesman said. Nicholas de la Casa, a freelance reporter seized after he entered Mozambique from Zimbabwe in 198$, was released aft the Malawi border as a pre-
Christmas humanitarian gesture, the spokesman, Manuel Frank said. Mr Frank, a Lisbon representative of the Mozambican National Resistance, said de la Casa was in good health but gave no other details. The rebel group, also known as Renamo, has fought the Maputo Government since shortly after the former Portuguese colony gained Independence 13 years ago.
