Kyiv court to hold Yanukovych treason trial in absentia:

By RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service

A court in Kyiv has decided to hold the treason trial of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in absentia.

Presiding Judge Vladyslav Devyatko made the announcement on June 29 after Yanukovych, who is in Russia, repeatedly failed to show up in the courtroom.

His lawyer, Vitaliy Serdyuk, said Yanukovych could not attend the hearings due to threats to his life.

The next hearing is to take place on July 6.
