RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT YULIA TIMOSHENKO
EPP and likeminded Group in the OSCE-PA
Regarding the current situation of the trial of Mrs. Yulia Timoshenko, former Prime Minister of Ukraine, the EPP and likeminded Group in the OSCE-PA is:
• Deeply concerned about her personal, physical and health conditions in prison,

• Expresses its worries about her health situation and asks the Government of Ukraine to provide the best possible medical care by a medical team nominated by her and, if necessary, the transfer to any specialized medical centre of her choice, inside or outside the national territory, even if remaining in the custody of the competent authorities.

• Urges the Ukrainian authorities to allow the visit of observers and International Organisations like the International Red Cross, after the failed attempts to do so by observers of the OSCE-PA, NGOs, and political parties including the EPP led by Wilfred Martens,

• Regrets the constant violation of the fundamental Human Rights regarding her trial, the lack of Justice and the lack of respect to the Rules of International Rights,
• Recognises that Ukraine is strengthened by effective multiparty democracy and that Ukraine is weakened by one group controlling politics and influencing the judiciary.
• Calls upon the International community and the EPP and likeminded Member Parties to show its commitment to International Law and to seek a democratic rule of law in Ukraine and an independent judiciary.
We hope that the President and Government of Ukraine, leading political forces and its judicial system, will be able to resolve this problem in accordance with norms of international law permitting Yulia Timoshenko and other politicians in prison participate in the next elections contributing to the democratisations of Ukrainian powers and society.
