Yulia Tymoshenko On Hunger Strike In Ukraine Prison -- The Telegraph
Jailed former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has gone on hunger strike after prison guards allegedly beat her, her lawyer said on Tuesday.
Last Friday Tymoshenko, who suffers from a severe spinal condition and needs hospital treatment, was taken to a clinic in the eastern city of Kharkiv where her prison is located, but was moved back to jail a day later after refusing treatment.

My Comment: I have quite a few relatives in Ukraine, and they are all telling me the same thing. The economy is collapsing. Crime is rampant. Money is tight. And all my younger cousins want to immigrate to the U.S. or Canada. In short .... times are tough back there.
