Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny is unconscious in intensive care after a suspected poisoning, his spokeswoman said Thursday.
The anti-corruption campaigner and staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin fell ill while on a flight back to Moscow from Tomsk, a city in Siberia,Yarmysh said Navalny began to feel unwell after drinking tea that appeared to have been laced with a toxin. Russia's state new agency Tass confirmed Navalny is being treated for poisoning in a hospital in Omsk, where his plane made an emergency landing. Citing the chief doctor at the hospital, Tass said he is in a grave condition.
Navalny, 44, is the effective face of political opposition to Putin and he has been in and out of jail for his activism against Russia's longtime leader. Last year, Navalny claimed he was poisoned while serving a short jail sentence. Doctors said he had a severe allergic reaction to an unknown substance. He was left partially blind in one eye after a pro-Putin activist attacked him with a chemical in 2017.
