Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny posts photo of himself at a Berlin hospital. He is demanding Russia return the clothes he was wearing when he fell into a coma, calling it “a crucial piece of evidence” in his nerve agent poisoning.
Colleagues of Vladimir Putin’s biggest political rival, who doctors say was poisoned, gathered evidence that they say included a water bottle that showed traces of poison.
Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin's fiercest critic, fell ill on a domestic flight to Moscow on Aug. 20, was brought to a hospital in the Siberian city of Omsk and was transferred to Germany for treatment two days later. A German military lab later determined that the Russian politician was poisoned with Novichok, the same class of Soviet-era nerve agent that Britain said was used in 2018 on a former Russian spy and his daughter in England.
“There is no criminal case in Russia, there is a ‘preliminary inquiry regarding the fact of hospitalization.' It looks as if I didn't fall into a coma on a plane, but rather tripped in a supermarket and broke my leg,” Navalny wrote. Since the inquiry hasn't resulted in a criminal case, “it can now be argued that the Russian state has officially decided to ignore the poisoning of Navalny,” the politician's spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh said in a video statement on Monday.The Kremlin has repeatedly said they see no grounds for a criminal case, as Russian labs and the hospital in Omsk found no indications of poisoning.
