Jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has been released from prison, after Ukraine's parliament declared President Viktor Yanukovych unable to carry out his duties.

Ms Tymoshenko was jailed for seven years in 2011 for abuse of power, but now she is on her way to the capital, Kiev, to join the protesters who have altered the country's political landscape through months of demonstrations that have left dozens dead.

After her release the former prime minister declared: "Our homeland will from today on be able to see the sun and sky as a dictatorship has ended."
