Two UK journalists were labelled "spies" after a militia in Libya confused the Welsh language with Hebrew.
Gareth Montgomery-Johnson, from Carmarthen, and Nicholas Davies-Jones, from Berkshire, were picked up by the Misrata Brigade in Tripoli last month.
They were carrying medical supplies which had Welsh words printed on them.
Mr Montgomery-Johnson told the BBC: "They thought this was Hebrew and we were Israeli spies."
The men had been working for the Iranian broadcaster Press TV, when the militia detained them on 22 February.
They were accused of entering the country illegally.
On March 14 they were handed over to the interior ministry after apologising for their actions.
They flew back the the UK on Monday night.
Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire on BBC 5Live, Mr Davies-Jones said: "It's a lot to take in."
Mr Montgomery-Johnson said it felt "good" and was "overwhelmed".
"We're pleased to be back with our own families because they've been through a similar ordeal," he said.
