International voices weighed in with concern after the suspected poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny
Navalny, a fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin and his lieutenants, is in a serious condition after drinking tea on Thursday morning that his allies believe was laced with poison.
Navalny’s wife Yulia and his spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh, who want to fly Navalny to Germany for medical treatment, dispute this and criticised the hospital after it said that moving him would put his life at risk because he was still in a coma and his condition unstable. Alexander Murakhovsky, the hospital’s head doctor, told reporters that many legal questions would need to be resolved before Navalny could be handed over to European doctors.
