Mr. Chair, I would like to ask that my colleague provide some comments on the following.
Mr. Alexander Turchinov, who is the first deputy head of the Batkivshchina party in Ukraine, said that the latest actions of the Security Service of Ukraine, SBU, are a continuation of the political repression against the opposition and that the latest charges against Yulia Tymoshenko regarding debts owed by the United Energy Systems of Ukraine to Russia are groundless and absurd, and that the new accusations against Yulia Tymoshenko are even more absurd than the failed cases that were announced, forged and investigated over the last year.
Would my colleague agree that there seems to be a pattern of silencing the opposition? We have had examples presented this evening of others. Would my colleague agree that this is sort of the pinnacle of silencing the main person who might oppose the current president in the next election?
