OSCE observer Douglas enters territory of Kharkiv-based clinic

The head of the delegation of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Walburga Habsburg Douglas, has with her colleagues entered the territory of Central Clinical Hospital No. 5 in Kharkiv, where former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko is undergoing treatment.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that Douglas promised the journalists outside the clinic to return in ten minutes.

As reported, the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine first allowed Douglas to visit Tymoshenko, but later canceled its permission due to the declaration of a hunger strike by Tymoshenko.
