| Subject: Good news" Former Ukraine PM faces new tax evasion trial Sat Apr 28, 2012 4:12 am | |
| Former Ukrainian PM Yulia Tymoshenko is going on trial in the city of Kharkiv on charges of tax evasion.
She is refusing to attend the trial for health reasons. She is already serving a seven-year jail sentence for abuse of office.
On Friday photos emerged of alleged injuries Ms Tymoshenko said she received while in prison last week.
Ukraine's opposition says three men punched her in the stomach, but the authorities have denied the allegation.
The first trial was condemned by Western governments as politically motivated.
