UKRAINE'S jailed opposition leader, Yulia Tymoshenko, left, called on voters to "rise up" at a parliamentary election next month in a bid to end the rule of President Viktor Yanukovich.
In a shaky two-minute video filmed at the hospital where she is being held, the former prime minister said she was enduring "a hell", created by Yanukovich, as she serves a seven-year sentence for abuse of office.
Tymoshenko, 51, is banned from running in the October 28 election due to her imprisonment.
