(ANSA-AP) - MOSCOW - A law firm representing former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych says he is suing Ukraine for violating his human rights. Yanukovych fled to Russia in February 2014 following months of anti-government protests. He later insisted he was threatened and forced to leave the country.

London-based Joseph Hage Aaronson said in a statement on Monday that Yanukovych has lodged a lawsuit against Ukraine's government with the European Court of Human Rights for "repeatedly" violating his human rights. (ANSA-AP).
