Ukraine - Tymoshenko's husband seeks Czech asylum Wife moved to Kharkiv prison

Published on Jan 6, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ The husband of Ukraine's jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has asked for asylum in the Czech Republic.

No decision on Oleksander Tymoshenko's application has been taken yet. But a year ago Prague granted asylum to a minister who had served in Yulia Tymoshenko's government, sparking a diplomatic row with Kiev.

The former premier was sentenced to seven years behind bars in October for abuse of office.

A week ago, she was moved from the capital to the eastern town of Kharkiv, despite protests from her supporters.
