季莫申科被曝獄中與律師偷情
A lawyer for Ukraine's jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Wednesday said he may sue a news agency over publication of a video alleging he had an affair with his defendant.
正在服刑的烏克蘭前總理尤利亞•季莫申科的律師稱，他將起訴一家新聞機構，該機構發佈的視頻稱他與季莫申科有私情。
The three-minute-long black and white video, available on YouTube, features a woman resembling Tymoshenko who is soon joined by a man resembling her lawyer, Serhiy Vlasenko. The woman begins kissing and cuddling with her visitor. The video has very low resolution; the features of the people could not be identified.
這段3分鐘長的黑白視頻顯示，酷似季莫申科律師謝爾蓋•瓦拉森科的男子很快進來探望一個很像季莫申科的女人。兩人開始接吻，擁抱在一起。視頻非常模糊，無法辨認出裏面人物的身份特徵。這段視頻被上傳到YouTube網站上。
"I'll study this video," Vlasenko told Kommersant-Ukraina daily. "Most likely, I will [sue the news agency]."
瓦拉森科告訴《烏克蘭商業日報》說：“我會仔細研究這段視頻，很可能會起訴這家新聞機構。”
Vlasenko categorically denied having an affair with Tymoshenko.
瓦拉森科斷然否認與季莫申科有私情。Tymoshenko's party on Tuesday called the video "fake and bogus," while the State Penitentiary Service's first deputy head, Serhiy Sydorenko, described it as "truthful." A probe may be initiated to establish how the news agency obtained the video, he said.
季莫申科所在的政黨本週二稱這段視頻是“虛假的，僞造的”。但烏克蘭監獄局第一副局長謝爾蓋•塞多蘭科稱其是“真實的”。他說，有關機構將着手調查新聞機構是如何獲得這段視頻的。
The Ukrainian opposition leader has been jailed for seven years for abusing her power by pushing through a 2009 gas deal with Russia. She is serving her term in a penal colony in the eastern city of Kharkov. She has maintained her innocence.
烏克蘭反對黨領袖季莫申科因2009年支持烏克蘭與俄羅斯簽署天然氣協議，被控濫用職權獲刑7年。她正在烏克蘭東部城市哈爾科夫一座監獄服刑。她一直堅稱自己無罪。
On Tuesday, Tymoshenko, who suffers from spinal problems, started a hunger strike after prison guards allegedly beat her in the stomach while taking her to hospital by force.
本週二，季莫申科宣稱遭到獄警毆打，開始絕食抗議。她的脊柱患病，稱在獄警強迫她去一家醫院就醫時打了她的胃部一拳。
Vlasenko said the publication of the video aimed to distract society from this incident.
瓦拉森科稱，這段視頻的目的在於分散人們對季莫申科遭打和抗議事件的注意力。
After visiting Tymoshenko in jail, Ukrainian human rights ombudswoman Nina Karpachyova confirmed on Wednesday that she had bruises on her arm, right elbow and the right part of her abdomen, according to opposition politician Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
反對黨政治人士阿爾謝尼•亞採紐克表示，烏克蘭人權女調查官尼娜-卡帕奇耶娃在前往監獄探望季莫申科後，本週三確認稱，她的手臂、右肘和腹部右半部有瘀傷。
Sydorenko, however, insisted on Wednesday that "no beating has taken place." The Penitentiary Service said Tymoshenko refused on Tuesday to be inspected by a medical expert, a claim dismissed by her lawyer.
但塞多蘭科本週三堅稱“從沒有打過季莫申科”。烏克蘭監獄局表示季莫申科本週二拒絕了醫療專家的檢查，但她的律師反駁了這種說法。
