A labour court in India has awarded 5m rupees ($122,000) in compensation to an American journalist sacked by the Associated Press (AP) news agency.
The court said the journalist was covered by Indian laws because the agency had a base in India.
Laurinda Keys was sacked in 2004. She went to court in 2005 claiming that her dismissal was without any reason.
Legal experts say the landmark ruling will affect foreign employers and their employees in India.
In her complaint, Ms Keys said her services had been "terminated without any reason on the pretext that her position was being abolished".
