Al Jazeera journalists Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed have left prison in Egypt following their release on bail.
They spent more than a year behind bars. On Thursday a court ordered their release pending a retrial this month.
They are accused of spreading false information and helping the banned Muslim Brotherhood.
Their release comes almost wo weeks after that of Australian Peter Greste, the third journalist in the case that has attracted international criticism.
Mr Greste was deported to Australia following his release. Mr Fahmy, who was ordered to pay over $30,000 (£20,000) in bail, holds a Canadian passport and renounced his Egyptian citizenship.
Mr Mohammed, who is Egyptian and holds no foreign passport, and Mr Fahmy now have to report to the police daily until their retrial is due to resume on 23 February.
At their original trial the three journalists were sentenced to seven to 10 years in prison.
