KIEV (Reuters) - Dmytro Bulatov, a Ukrainian activist whose torture at the hands of kidnappers outraged anti-government protesters, flew out for treatment in Lithuania on Sunday after officials in Kiev dropped charges against him, allies and diplomats said.

Opposition leader Vitaly Klitschko told Reuters at the Kiev clinic where Bulatov had been since Thursday that the activist was flying to Vilnius via the Latvian capital Riga.
