Al Jazeera's Ahmed Mansour was discharged from detainment in Germany on Monday, the Qatari system reported, refering to its reporter.
Mansour, 52, is a senior Al Jazeera columnist who was captured on Saturday in Berlin, in front of getting onto a flight to Qatari capital Doha.
The Qatari Al Jazeera said the double Egyptian and British national was captured at the solicitation of the Egyptian government.
A year ago, Mansour was sentenced to 15 years in jail for keeping a national for quite a long time and tormenting him amid the January 2011 uprising.
He was sentenced in absentia and has denied the charges.
Egypt has formally asked for his removal on Sunday.
His legal counselor was already refered to by Al Jazeera as saying that his capture might have been "politically roused" and the Qatari system has asked his prompt discharge.
Egyptian-Qatari ties have grown strained in the course of recent years. Qatar was a solid supporter of Morsi's administration.
In December 2013, three Al Jazeera writers were captured in Cairo and kept in confinement for no less than 400 days. They were at first sentenced to jail in June 2014 yet now confront retrial.
Mansour's capture was crticised by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"Egyptian powers ought to quit seeking after Ahmed Mansour and his Al-Jazeera partners. Mansour ought to be discharged promptly," CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program organizer Sherif Mansour said in an announcement on Sunday.
