乌克兰前总理将出庭受审滥权指控

The former prime minister narrowly lost to Mr. Yanukovych in last year’s presidential elections. Ms. Tymoshenko became an international figure in 2004, with her trademark braids, as a leader of the “Orange Revolution.” The street demonstrations effectively ended Mr. Yanukovych’s first bid for the presidency.

这位前总理在去年总统大选中以微少差距输给了亚努科维奇。季莫申科2004年以桔色革命领导人身份，以及一头招牌辫子成为国际知名人物。街头示威有效地阻止了亚努科维奇首次的总统竞选。

Ms. Tymoshenko says Mr. Yanukovych is the instigator of what she called a “crooked” court action that will likely convict her of abuse of power charges.

季莫申科说，亚努科维奇背后策划了这个她称为“不正当”的法律行动。这个法律行动可能会以滥用职权将她定罪。

The charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

这项罪名最高可判处十年徒刑。
