Ukraine’s newly empowered parliament has voted to allow the release of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko after more than two years in prison.
Legislators voted 310-54 to decriminalize the count under which she was imprisoned, meaning that she is no longer guilty of a criminal offense.
“Free Yulia! Free Yulia!” legislators chanted after the vote.
