Arnada was released in June 2011, after the Supreme Court agreed with his defense that a journalist's professional acts should be tried under the Press Code and not Criminal Code.
Arnada dibebaskan pada bulan Juni 2007, setelah Mahkamah Agung menyetujui pembelaannya bahwa tindakan profesional seorang jurnalis harus diadili sesuai Kode Pers, bukannya sesuai Kode Kriminal.
