Parliament refuses to decriminalize Tymoshenko charges

Parliament refuses to decriminalize Tymoshenko charges

6 October 2011

Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, failed to pass any bills submitted by opposition politicians that would have decriminalized sections of the Criminal Code relating to economic and official misconduct, including portions being used to charge former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, RIA Novosti said yesterday. President Viktor Yanukovych’s press service said last week he sent amendments to the Rada on similar grounds, but legal advisor Andriy Portnov clarified on Monday, according to Interfax, that Yanukovych’s proposed changes to the articles relating to Tymoshenko’s charges were not included in that package. Last week the judge adjourned Tymoshenko’s trial until October 11.
