An appeal court in
Tunisia has acquitted rapper Ahmed Ben Ahmed, known as Klay BBJ, on
charges of insulting the authorities in his songs.
The rapper was jailed in September for six months for insulting the police at a concert in the resort of Hammamet.
"The court has decided to reject the accusations," the AFP news agency quotes the judge as saying.
During the performance in August, he sang alongside fellow rapper Weld El 15, who has been on the run since then.
They had both initially been sentenced in absentia in August to 21 months in prison.
