Vlasenko: Doctors' recommendation on 8-week rest for Tymoshenko being neglected

She is too ill to attend court sessions, but not too ill for the endless and continuous meetings of minor EU functionaries and her BYT lads. Interesting set of priorities here.

2010 REPORT FROM USA State Department

“There was a sharp increase in charges brought against opposition politicians after the appointment of a new prosecutor general on November 4, giving rise to the appearance of selective and politically motivated prosecutions by the Yanukovych government. Between November 1 and December 31, prosecutors brought charges against former prime minister Yulyia Tymoshenko and more than eight high-level members of her government for abuse of office and/or misuse of state funds during their tenure. The questioning of accused individuals by government prosecutors, which often lasted for hours at a time over a period of several days, and the denial of bail in certain cases further exacerbated the perception of politically motivated prosecution (see section 4). The government contended that the prosecutions were not targeting the opposition, and that there were many ongoing investigations of members of the governing party; however, with only a few exceptions these were low-level, career officials.”

You don't live here, my Canadian friend, and you rarely visit. Ergo, your opinion matters naught. However, here's some food for thought. For the first time ever, powerful people are being prosecuted for their misdeeds. Think 'precedent'. I know, it's a difficult thought process. And by the by, did you ever do anything to help your poor 'relatives' in far west Ukraine? Didn't think so.
