CARE2 - Ukraine, Free Yulia Tymoshenko, Feb 04, 2012


"Yulia Tymoshenko was the Prime Minister of Ukraine until she was defeated in elections in 2010 by current President Viktor Yanukovich. In late 2011, Yulia Tymoshenko was sentenced to seven years in prison for allegedly abusing power and doing business with Russia that was against the interests of Ukraine.
The New York Times reported that ever since her trial, sentencing and imprisonment, Western European and American leaders warned the Ukrainian President that her detention would strain relations between Ukraine and the Western countries. They believe that the charges against Ms. Tymoshenko do not warrant imprisonment. This warning however has not deterred the Ukrainian government as not only did they lay new charges against Ms. Tymoshenko, but they transferred her unexpectedly to a prison camp hundreds of miles outside the city of Kiev."
