Tymoshenko was sentenced to a seven year imprisonment in 2011 by President Yanukovych for her abuse of office regarding the natural gas deal with Russia. Despite her constant effort to appeal against the sentence, Tymoshenko’s voices were silenced from the court. Her indefinite arrest by the Ukrainian court still remains as one of the most controversial moments in the Ukrainian history that reflected the country's judicial injustice.

Known for her signature crown braid hairstyle and fierce speech, Tymoshenko successfully led the Orange Revolution that toppled then President Yanukovych in 2004 for manipulating the election results. Yanukovych narrowly defeated her in return in the 2010 election.

Her release was one of the conditions in the EU-Ukraine trade pact that President Yanukovych rejected last year, which consequently sparked the nation-wide anti-government protest till this day.
