MOSCOW. Jan 18 (Interfax) - Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund expert Antonina Zimina, who received a 13-year sentence after being found guilty of high treason, has filed a petition for a pardon, her father Konstantin Zimin told Interfax.
"She has already submitted a petition for a pardon. She continues to deny any wrongdoing, but the conditions in the remand facility are unbearable," Zimin said.
Zimina's husband, Konstantin Antonets, who was convicted in the same case, has decided against filing a pardon petition, he said.
