Around 100 people arrested over deadly violence around last year's presidential election in Ivory Coast have been released, prosecutors said Friday, while a similar number are still in jail.
The people released were "freed provisionally or under judicial supervision," prosecutor Richard Adou told reporters in the capital Abidjan.
Meanwhile "102 people still under investigation remain detained," he added, although they could be freed under the same conditions later.
August and November violence linked to the presidential vote in Ivory Coast left around 100 people dead and 500 hurt.
Opposition candidates boycotted the election, saying incumbent Alassane Ouattara's bid for a third term was unconstitutional.
That left the path clear for Ouattara's reelection in the first round.
One prominent civil society figure released Friday, Pulcherie Gbalet, called for "true national reconciliation" after her eight months in jail.
Tensions have eased in Ivory Coast since the presidential poll, with legislative elections last month going ahead calmly and including opposition candidates.
Under a "national reconciliation" scheme by Ouattara's government, several supporters of former president Laurent Gbagbo returned to the country Friday after 10 years in exile.
More than 3,000 people were killed in months of fighting after Gbagbo disputed Ouattara's win that year and refused to stand down.
After Gbagbo himself was last month acquitted by the International Criminal Court of crimes against humanity during the fighting, Ouattara said he would be allowed to return to Ivory Coast.
While the former president has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in his home country, prosecutor Adou said that it was "time for reconciliation"
"Justice is a tool of reconciliation," he added.
