In his turn, Oleksandr Turchynov, the first deputy head of the Batkivshchyna Party, says former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was moved from the Lukyanivka pre-trial detention facility in Kyiv without any warning.
“We just learned this from the deputies that are currently at the Lukyanivka jail. Yulia Tymoshenko was awoken at night without warning and explanation and early this morning she was moved with a wheelchair to a prison van and sent towards Kharkiv. This information was given to us by the detention facility administrators, who have been hiding this fact from the MPs for two hours,” Oleksandr Turchynov told journalists today.
At the same time, State Penitentiary Service officials denied reports that the ex-prime minister was allegedly moved in a wheelchair ands states that a comfortable minibus was provided for her transportation.
