Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has been returned to her prison cell after a medical tests at a hospital in Kiev indicated she was not suffering from any life-threatening medical condition, media reports, quoting Tymoshenko's lawyer and prison officials, said Wednesday.
Ukraine's prison service confirmed in a statement that Tymoshenko had undergone medical checks at a hospital in the capital city, stating: "As a result of Tymoshenko's checks, no life-threatening pathological changes were found."
Tymoshenko was reportedly brought back to prison from the hospital by about 10 am on Wednesday, just hours after she was taken for the medical check-up.
Her lawyer Sergei Vlasenko expressed doubts about the medical checkup, saying: "We don't know what they did to her or what the results are."
The developments come a day after President Viktor Yanukovych authorized Tymoshenko's release from prison temporarily to get medical treatment for serious health problems, including severe back pain.
"I was informed that the system of medical treatment in jail is not up to the required standards. So this treatment or medical services will have to be provided in medical institutions in Kiev, in the coming days, either today or tomorrow," Yanukovych told a news conference on Tuesday.
Last month, a court in Kiev had found Tymoshenko guilty of exceeding her powers in signing the 2009 gas contracts with Russia and sentenced her to seven years in prison.
