EU-wide ‘Free Yulia Tymoshenko’ campaign to be directed from Prague

Bohdan Danylyshyn, a former Ukrainian economics minister in the government of Yulia Tymoshenko granted asylum in the Czech Republic in January 2011, says he will join forces with the “Orange Revolution” heroine’s husband — who was also given refuge here in December — to work to have her released from prison in Kiev. He says the Tymoshenkos’ daughter, Yevhenia, will head the European-wide campaign, which will likely be based in Prague.
