Yulia Tymoshenko was arrested unlawfully and for political reasons, according to the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on April 30.
Tymoshenko was detained in 2011 and jailed for seven years for “abuse of office” in relation to her role in signing a gas deal with Russia. According to Gazeta Wyborcza, “the unprecedented ruling of the Strasbourg judges, who previously avoided taking such an explicit position in political disputes, leaves Kiev with little room for manoeuvre.
