The Kiev Court has arrested former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko,
RIA Novosti reports.
Immediately after the announcement of the court decision Tymoshenko
supporters shouted: "Shame! Shame!"
About 30 policemen entered the room to take Tymoshenko into custody.
The court satisfied a request by prosecutor Lilia Frolova to arrest
Tymoshenko rather than just maintain a current ban on her traveling
outside Kiev, citing repeated violations of court order by the
defendant. Frolova said Tymoshenko had obstructed the investigation
into the case.
