Russian Opposition Leader Navalny in Critical Condition Amid Poisoning Fears
TL;DR Summary
Lawyers and associates of jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny fear that Russian authorities may be slowly poisoning him in prison after he suffered acute stomach pains and seizures and lost more than 17 pounds in a recent spell in an isolated “punishment” cell. Navalny’s lawyer has demanded toxicological and other medical tests and complained to Russian authorities. Navalny was jailed in 2021 and is serving 11½ years on charges widely viewed as trumped up because of his opposition to President Vladimir Putin’s government.
