Tymoshenko called the opposition to seek a trial of Yanukovych in the Hague

Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko called on the opposition leaders to seek a lawsuit against the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych in the Hague International Criminal Court. Tymoshenko wrote about this on her Facebook page.

According to Tymoshenko, in order to "eliminate the dictatorship right now and forever", it is necessary to form a delegation that will convince European leaders to find a legal path to open office work in the International Criminal Court in The Hague against Yanukovych. Also, according to Tymoshenko, it is necessary to seek personal sanctions against the Yanukovych family - despite the fact that "they, unfortunately, are already a little late and may not stop large -scale terror in Ukraine."

As the former prime minister notes, one of the legal ways to initiate a case against Yanukovych in a court in the Hague is the appeal to the court of those countries whose citizens suffered from the "aggression of the ruling regime" during the dispersal of protests in Kyiv.

Another task of the delegation Tymoshenko calls the direction of the international forensic medical examination to Ukraine, which should establish "facts of deaths and wounds of civilians from firearms and other instruments of violence."

Tymoshenko is serving a term for abuse of powers when concluding gas contracts with Russia. She was sentenced to seven years in October 2011, shortly after the Party of Regions came to power, led by Viktor Yanukovych. In addition, several more criminal cases are being investigated against Tymoshenko. Since May 2012, the ex-Prime Minister has been in the Kharkov hospital in connection with the disease of the spine.

On Tuesday, the situation in Ukraine has sharply aggravated. In Kyiv, fierce clashes began between opposition supporters and law enforcement officers. As a result of riots, according to official figures, 26 people were killed, including 10 police officers. About 800 people were injured.
