Russia frees woman accused of treason over Ukraine - husband


MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has conditionally released an activist accused of high treason for phoning the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow to warn that Russian soldiers might be heading to eastern Ukraine, her husband said on Tuesday.

Anatoly Gorlov told Reuters by telephone that Svetlana Davydova was on her way home. But Davydova, who is bringing up seven children with her husband, will have her movements restricted and still faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted in a trial.
