Amnesty International has again called for the release of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko who they say was tried and jailed for political reasons. The trial was based on a gas deal with Russia that Tymoshenko made while prime minister and the verdict was a seven year prison sentence with an additional $190 million in damages.
