Alexei Navalny, a fierce critic of Russian President Putin, has been poisoned and is unconscious at a Siberian hospital, his spokeswoman said
He started feeling ill after he had tea early Thursday before a flight to Moscow from the Siberian city of Tomsk, Kira Yarmysh wrote on Twitter. The plane made an emergency landing in the nearby city of Omsk, where Mr. Navalny was admitted to the hospital, she added.
Mr. Navalny was hooked up to artificial ventilation at the hospital and was in a critical condition, she said, adding that his supporters had called the police. Since the constitutional vote earlier this summer, other opposition figures have been detained by authorities and had their properties raided.
