Yushchenko makes pledge on regime's crimes
Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko promised today to prosecute government officials and their supporters for crimes committed during the last decade should he win the country’s December 26 re-run of the presidential election.
Yushchenko faces Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych in the repeat of the November 21 vote. The Supreme Court threw out Yanukovych’s victory in that run-off, saying it was invalidated by fraud.
