Al Jazeera journalists Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed have been freed on bail by an Egyptian court after spending more than a year behind bars.
A judge in Cairo ordered that the pair should be released at the start of their retrial on charges of spreading lies.
Canadian-Egyptian Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian national Baher Mohamed had spent more than four hundred days in jail.
Mr Fahmy's fiancee cheered "long live justice" as the decision to grant bail was announced.
The men's colleague, Peter Greste, was released last week and returned to his native Australia.
He was freed under a decree which authorised the country's leader to approve the deportation of foreign prisoners.
Mr Greste took to Twitter to congratulate his colleagues when their release was announced: "This is a huge step forward. Not time to declare it over, but at least you get to go home!"
The three were arrested in 2013 followed the ousting of Egypt's Islamist president and Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi by the military.
The men were accused by the new government of acting as a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood, which had been designated as a terrorist organisation.
Their case provoked an international outcry and widespread calls for their freedom.
Human rights groups and several media outlets condemned the men's detention as being politically-motivated, saying the three were just doing their job.
Mr Fahmy and Mr Mohamed's case has been adjourned until 23 February.
