Ukraine’s jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko said Monday she was starting a hunger strike to protest against violations in parliamentary polls in which the ruling party has taken a decisive lead.
“I am announcing a hunger strike to protest election falsifications,” Tymoshenko’s attorney Sergiy Vlasenko read from a statement written by the ex-prime minister and 2004 Orange Revolution leader.
