In this photo provided by Ukrainian Pravda taken Wednesday, April 25, 2012, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko shows bruises on her body to Ukrainian Commissioner for Human Rights in Kachanovskaya prison in Kharkiv, Ukraine, which she said she sustained when prison guards attacked her on Friday April 20 when trying to transport her to a local hospital against her will. German doctors who have examined Tymoshenko said Friday they are "extremely skeptical" that she can be successfully treated for her back condition in her homeland. In Kiev, her daughter said the opposition leader's condition has deteriorated since the alleged beatings by prison guards. (AP Photo/Ukrainian Pravda)
