EU foreign and security rep condemns Tymoshenko trial and imprisonment
Journal Staff Report

BRUSSELS, Oct. 13 – The prosecution of Ukraine's former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko is politically motivated and her trial and conviction did not respect international standards, which is unacceptable for the country that proclaims its commitment to European values, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Catherine Ashton told the European Parliament in Brussels on Wednesday.

"There is no doubt that the prosecution of Yulia Tymoshenko was politically motivated. Her conviction yesterday followed a trial which clearly did not respect international standards as regards fair, transparent and independent legal process. Regrettably her case is not an isolated one in Ukraine. Several other members of her government have been prosecuted and convicted in the same way," she said.
