On April 27, 2012 people saw at first Yuliya Tymoshenko's look in the prison thanks to the photos, made by parliament's human rights representative Nina Karpachova in Kachanivka prison on April 25, 2012 and published on "Batkivshchyna" party' site and in the different newspapers. These photos show the bruises on the arms and stomach of Tymoshenko and are the evidences of Tymoshenko statement about her beating in the prison. Thus Yuliya Tymoshenko, former Ukrainian Prime Minister and the main rival of present Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych at the presidential elections in February of 2010, wrote a statement about her beating by jail's guards and her moving by force from Kachanivka jail to a hospital in Kharkiv. This Tymoshenko statement was read by her lawyer Serhiy Vlasenko and was published on "Batkivshchyna" site on April 24, 2012. Yuliya Tymoshenko said in the statement that on April 20 in the evening three prison's guards went in the cell, took out her cell's mate, put bed sheet on Tymoshenko and began to pull her off the bed, using brutal force. But ex-Prime Minister began to defend herself and said about her disagreement to be moved into a hospital, and then one of the guards beat her once in the stomach through the bed sheet, after what they pulled her off the bed and using such brutal methods she was moved to a hospital. Y. Tymoshenko refused from the treatment in the hospital and was removed again in the jail on April 22. She descibed that all situation in her statement and wrote about bruises on her arms and stomach, got after violent transfering from the jail to a hospital, and she also started hunger strike since April 20 as her protest against physical violence and breach her human rights in the prison and against present Ukrainian power in general. Nina Karpachova also said about bad health and bruises on Tymoshenko's body after visiting her in the prison on April 25. So when are such conditions of staying in the prison for such famous politician like Tymoshenko, how can be the conditions of staying there for simple Ukrainians?
Several weeks ago Ukrainian TV-channel TVі (ТВі in Ukrainian) demonstrated a documentary film and special journalistic report of Kostyantyn Usov, TVi Kyiv journalist, about Lukyanivka investigatory isolation ward in Kyiv (Ukrainian film's name is "Лук'янівка.Тюрма №1", the name of this film with English subtitles is "Lukyanivka. Prison №1"). In Ukraine people often wait judge's verdict many time in the investigatory isolation wards, being not found guilty or innocent yet, and this documentary film shows that awful conditions, in which people stay there.
What can I say something else? Ukraine very needs a great reform in the legal sphere to be real democratic state.
