KHARIV (UCRAINA) – La leader della Rivoluzione arancione Yulia Tymoshenko è stata trasferita nell’ospedale di Khariv per essere sottoposta alle cure di un team internazionale di medici, tra cui uno specialista tedesco. ”La Tymoshenko è stata trasferita in ospedale per essere curata da un gruppo di medici internazionali”, recita un comunicato del centro penitenziario dove era detenuta. Un corrispondente dell’Afp ha riferito di aver visto l’ex premier ucraina entrare in un convoglio di auto blindate proveniente dal carcere dove sta scontando una condanna a sette anni.
La Tymonshenko aveva annunciato l’intenzione di sospendere lo sciopero della fame iniziato ad aprile per protesta contro le violenze e i maltrattamenti subiti da parte delle guardie carcerarie. Con il suo trasferimento le autorità di Kiev puntano a disinnescare la crisi diplomatica che minaccia gli Europei di Calcio.

Tymoshenko, Ukraine's imprisoned former prime minister, was moved Wednesday from jail to this hospital for treatment of a severe back condition under the supervision of a German doctor. The move was likely to allay at least some Western concerns over Tymoshenko's health and handling in prison. Top EU officials and some EU governments have vowed to boycott the European football championship matches co-hosted by Ukraine in June, and Ukraine had to cancel a regional cooperation summit this weekend after most heads of central and eastern European states canceled their visits over the Tymoshenko case.
