LATEST: Russian doctors refuse to allow Alexey Navalny to be evacuated from Siberia to Germany for treatment for suspected poisoning, prompting accusations from his colleagues that the Kremlin is trying to cover up that he might have been poisoned.
Outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, Alexey Navalny is being treated in intensive care in a coma amid allegations he’s been poisoned, although the hospital has not confirmed the cause of illness.
But the head doctor at the Omsk hospital treating Navalny, Alexander Murakhovsky told reporters the hospital would not release Navalny for transport, saying his condition did not currently allow it. Another doctor at the hospital said at the current time they also do believe Navalny had been poisoned, saying no traces of poison have been found in his urine or blood.
It is"needed only so as to drag out the time and wait so that it will no longer be possible to detect the poison that's in his system. Moreover, every hour of delay creates a critical threat to his life," she wrote.
