MOSCOW (AP) ? A Russian physicist convicted of spying for China has been released on parole and is continuing to protest his innocence.
Valentin Danilov was arrested in 2001 on charges of passing classified information on space technology to China. He claimed the information was already publicly available.
He was acquitted in a 2003 trial, but retried the next year and convicted and sentenced to 14 years.
After his release Saturday, Danilov told a news conference in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk that he would pursue his case with the European Court of Human Rights.
Before his arrest, Danilov was a professor at Krasnoyarsk Technical University.
