Irving released from prison

Vienna's highest court has ruled that controversial British author David Irving can be released from jail. The court granted the historian's appeal against his three-year sentence and ruled that he could serve out the remainder of his term on probation. The court rejected calls by the prosecution that his sentence be increased. Instead it reduced his sentence from three to two years, with one of those years to be served on probation. As he has been in jail since his arrest in November 2005, the ruling means he can be released from prison immediately.
