VILNIUS (Reuters) - Dmytro Bulatov, a Ukrainian activist whose description of how he was tortured by kidnappers outraged anti-government protesters, vowed on Monday to continue his fight for democracy, as he underwent treatment in a hospital in Lithuania.

Bulatov, 35, whose bloodied face and account of being "crucified" during a week in the hands of unidentified abductors have dominated opposition media since Friday, flew on a commercial flight to the Baltic state for treatment on Sunday.
