Opposition regards the repeated arrest of Timoshenko, as an attempt for failure of negotiations. 

Parliamentary floor leader of "Batkivshina", Alexander Turchinov informed that according to information, which he has, the decision of board of the Kiev city court on Julia Timoshenko's repeated arrest was passed "on command of Kuchma, and the resolution was prepared in an extra hurry by Nikolay Obihod and Victor Medvedchuk". The deputy informed that recently pressure is put on doctors to discharge Timoshenko from clinic and to send her to CIZO.

"It was necessary for government that meeting with representatives of PASS (as Timoshenko met on Friday with lecturer of PASS, Khanne Severinsen) should be held in more normal conditions than conditions of interrogative isolator", - as emphasized by him.

According to Turchinov, session of board of the Kiev city court was held in the closed regime and resolution was passed within 20 minutes. The decision of board of capital city court was passed that "State Office of Public Prosecutor presented new confidential data (in case of Timoshenko), which are not subject to disclosure ", deputy told.

He also thinks that repeated arrest of Timoshenko, it is "demarche, called to stop any negotiating process of authority with opposition". "It is also the answer of authority as she wants to negotiate, and there will be an attempt for the use of force in the present situation in Ukraine ", - told Turchinov.

As the People's Deputy asserts, representatives of General Prosecutor explained that search in chamber will be carried out and sentry is deployed. " All process passed till two o'clock in the morning ", - emphasized Turchinov.

As he said, at present with Timoshenko, we have no access to her, "floor and room is blocked", where there is the ex-vice-Premier.

As asserts Turchinov, even lawyer can not have access to Timoshenko, as the permission for this purpose should be received from State Office of Public Prosecutor, and Saturday - Sunday are off days.

Turchinov emphasized also that now it is reliably not known, where is Timoshenko.

According to present at press conference of the heads of the Ukrainian social-democratic party and People's Deputy, Vasily Onopenko, the decision of board of the Kiev city court is "violent violation of rights and freedom of citizens and constitution". "It is illegal, unreasonable decision, which should be cancelled", he emphasized. Position of the Criminal - remedial code has been violated, which provide openness of judicial consideration.
