Alexei Navalny: Plane to bring 'poisoned' Russian critic to Germany
A German peace foundation is hoping to send an air ambulance to bring Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny to Berlin for treatment following his suspected poisoning.
Berlin's Charite hospital is ready to treat the staunch critic of Russia's President Vladimir Putin, Jaka Bizilj, director of the Cinema For Peace foundation, said. This is not the first time the Cinema for Peace Foundation has stepped into help a Russian activist: in 2018, it arranged for treatment of Russian activist Pyotr Verzilov in Berlin after his poisoning.
Other disturbing video appears to show a stricken Mr Navalny in pain on the flight. Passenger Pavel Lebedev said he heard the activist"screaming in pain". Mr Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya was initially denied access to her husband because authorities said the patient had not agreed to the visit, Ms Yarmysh said, although she was later allowed on to the ward.
Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the results of tests on Mr Navalny were needed before it considered a request for him to be moved aboard.Mr Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya, is at the hospital but was initially denied access to her husbandState news agency TASS cited a police officer saying,"we can't rule out that he drank or took something himself yesterday."
