Ukraine Sends Opposition Leader to Remote Prison

The Ukrainian authorities abruptly transferred the jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko to a prison camp about 300 miles east of the capital on Friday, a move that her supporters suspect is intended to cut off her access to the press and the public.

Ms. Tymoshenko, 51, a former prime minister whose charisma helped drive the pro-Western Orange Revolution, was sentenced to seven years in prison this fall on charges that she harmed Ukraine’s interests by agreeing to pay Russia a high price for natural gas.
