Via NY Post:
KHARKIV, Ukraine – Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko was freed on Saturday during the dramatic ouster of her arch enemy Viktor Yanukovich, setting up a possible run for the presidency in May.
Sporting her distinctive blonde braid, the 53-year-old former prime minister was driven out of the hospital in the northeastern city of Kharkiv where she had spent much of her confinement since 2011.
She waved to supporters, who chanted “Yulia, Yulia!”
“Our homeland will from today on be able to see the sun and sky as a dictatorship has ended,” she told reporters.
Tymoshenko’s Fatherland party said she would go to Kiev’s Independence Square, scene of nearly three months of protests against Yanukovich after he spurned a deal on closer ties with the European Union in favour of former Soviet master Moscow.
