To World Leaders :

As concerned global citizens, we call on you to boycott the Euro 2012 games held in the Ukraine until opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko is released to receive urgently needed medical treatment and all ill treatment of her ends. This is a critical moment for the world to stand up for human rights and democracy in Ukraine.

Fair play for Yulia
Right now, Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine’s imprisoned opposition leader and most popular Ukrainian politician, is on her 11th day of hunger strike -- risking death to protest her brutal mistreatment and denial of urgent medical care. But we have a chance to help save her and help restore the Ukraine’s best hope for democracy.

In weeks, all eyes will be on Ukraine as the country co-hosts the Euro 2012 football championships -- one of the world’s biggest sporting events. President Yanukovych is desperate to use the event to whitewash his regime's crimes and help consolidate his power and image amongst global leaders by having them as his guests at the games.

Tymoshenko is asking world leaders not to legitimize Yanukovych by attending the games. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she is considering boycotting the games so long as Tymoshenko is imprisoned. Other countries are considering doing the same. Let’s pile on the pressure and tell our world leaders not to stand with Yanukovych. Time is running out quickly -- sign the petition on the right now.
