MOSCOW — The Ukrainian authorities abruptly transferred jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko to a prison camp about 300 miles east of the capital Friday, a move that her supporters suspect is intended to cut off her access to the media and the public.
Tymoshenko, 51, a former prime minister, was sentenced to seven years in prison this fall on charges that she harmed Ukraine’s interests by agreeing to pay Russia a high price for natural gas.
Leaders in Russia and the West have condemned the decision because she remains a figure capable of rallying forces that oppose President Viktor Yanukovich.
