Russian doctors let Putin critic fly to Berlin for medical treatment

“I understand he’s still unconscious, but they’re used to such special assignments and they say very clearly he can fly and they want to fly him,” film producer Jaka Bizilj, of Cinema For Peace, told the Associated Press after being in contact with the German doctors. Since then, he has been promoting opposition candidates in regional elections, challenging members of the ruling party, United Russia.

His team made arrangements to transfer him to Charite, a clinic in Berlin that has a history of treating famous foreign leaders and dissidents and insisted that the transfer is critical to saving the politician’s life.“The ban on transferring Navalny is needed to stall and wait until the poison in his body can no longer be traced. Yet every hour of stalling creates a threat to his life,” Navalny’s spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh tweeted.
