Ukraine - Former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko moved from Kiev jail to detention centre in the east

http://www.euronews.net/ Former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko is now in a detention centre in the east of the country, after being moved from a jail in the capital Kiev.

In a snub to the European Union, the Ukrainian government has rehoused Tymoshenko before her case can be heard in the European Court of Human Rights.

Members of her Batkyvshchina Party are describing the complex in a suburb of Kharkiv as a 'remote prison colony'.

First Deputy Chairman of Batkyvshchina Oleksandr Turchynov said the move was sudden.
