Four French journalists held captive in Syria for almost a year have been freed, President Francois Hollande said on Saturday.

In a statement, Mr Hollande said he had "learned with great relief this morning of the liberation of the four French journalists".

Edouard Elias, Didier François, Nicolas Hénin and Pierre Torres were "in good health," he added.

The four men had been held hostage in Syria since June 2013.

They were reported to have been found by Turkish soldiers on the border with Syria with their hands and eyes bound.

The jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) were accused of kidnapping the journalists last June.

Mr Hollande said they would be returning to France in the coming hours.

Syria has become one of the most dangerous places for journalists.

More than 60 have been killed in the country since the beginning of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad three years ago.
