A Ukrainian court declined to hear former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s appeal challenging her arrest as her lawyer said the defense team will take the case to the Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
Kiev Court of Appeals Judge Olha Yefimova ruled the detention isn’t subject to an appeal because preventive measures can’t be challenged under criminal law, Tymoshenko’s spokeswoman Natalia Lysova said by phone.
