________________________________________
The
United States is deeply concerned by the treatment of former
Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and other imprisoned members
of her former government. The photographs of Mrs. Tymoshenko
released by the Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman further
call into question the conditions of her confinement. We
urge the Ukrainian authorities to ensure that Mrs.
Tymoshenko receives immediate medical assistance in an
appropriate facility and request that the U.S. Ambassador be
given access to her. We continue to call for her release,
the release of other members of her former government and
the restoration of their full civil and political
rights.
