"Recent events in Ukraine have attracted the concern of international analysts. According to the information available at present, the former Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, has been sentenced to seven years in prison, to a three-year ban on political activity, to a USD 200 million fine and to the confiscation of all her property, on the basis of an old Soviet law whose purpose was launching politically motivated criminal proceedings. Whatever the basis of the decision made, its break with the fundamental principles of the rule of law should be strongly condemned, along with the severely disproportionate punishments. It is feared, moreover, that the basis of this decision was the proximity of the next election. In view of this, I would like to reiterate the points made in the resolution, for which I voted, calling on Ukraine to reform its justice system in the near future, bringing it in line with the fundamental principles that should govern the democratic rule of law."@en1
