FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A lawyer for Tymoshenko said on Friday that the opposition leader will receive treatment for her back condition starting on Tuesday at a hospital in the eastern city of Kharkiv, where she is in prison.
German physicians from the Berlin-based Charite clinic travelled to Ukraine on Friday to examine the 51-year-old Tymoshenko, who served as prime minister twice between 2005 and 2010.
The former premier has been on a hunger strike since April 20 in protest over her alleged mistreatment by prison guards, who were trying to forcibly move her to the same clinic she agreed to visit on Friday.
Her case has set off a political firestorm in Ukraine and damaged the country’s image abroad as prominent EU officials have threatened to boycott soccer matches that Ukraine begins co-hosting with Poland on June 8 for the continent’s Euro 2012 championship.
In October 2011, a Ukrainian court sentenced Tymoshenko, who is the country’s leading opposition figure, to seven years in prison and banned her from political activities for three years after her release after convicting her on several charges, including abuse of power in signing a gas deal with Russia in 2009.
Tymoshenko has denied the allegations, saying the charges against her were politically motivated and that Ukraine has returned to the dark days of Stalinism.
