Timoshenko allowed to leave prison
President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovich has allowed Yulia Timoshenko receive a medical check-up out of prison.
"This morning, I asked about the issue and had a conversation with the Health Minister, the Prosecutor General and the Minister of Internal Affairs. I asked them to pay attention to the issue at hand and provide adequate medical assistance. I have been informed that there is still no adequate system for such cases and the existing one is far from meeting international standards. Timoshenko will receive medical assistance at one of the hospitals in Kiev and that will likely be today or tomorrow," RIA Novosti cites the Ukrainian President's words.
We remind that Yulia Timoshenko was in such a poor state that the doctor treating her had asked the court to allow the patient to go to a check-up out of prison. However, the court had rejected the doctor.
