BEIJING | Sun Sep 12, 2010

(Reuters) - Japan has freed the crew of a Chinese fishing boat detained last week in disputed waters in the East China Sea, state news agency Xinhua said Monday, although it did not mention whether the captain had also been released.

"The 14 illegally held Chinese boat crew members were released by Japanese coast guard authorities," Xinhua said in a brief report.
