Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny leaves Russia for treatment in Germany after suspected poisoning

Doctors treating Navalny said his condition had improved but gave few other details.

Navalny left Saturday on a German ambulance aircraft, dispatched by Berlin-based human rights activist Jaka Bizilj's Cinema for Peace Foundation. The plane arrived in Omsk on Friday, along with three German physicians who were later allowed to examine Navalny.But Navalny's associates wrote on Twitter that the doctors were spirited away by unidentified authorities before they could share their conclusions with Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya.

“The ban on transporting Navalny is an attempt on his life, which is now being carried out by the doctors and the deceitful authorities who sanctioned it,” she said. Less than four hours after German doctors reportedly said it was safe for Navalny to travel, the Omsk hospital gave the clearance for Navalny to be moved.

Omsk physicians later said that the transportation police were referring to an industrial chemical substance that was found not in Navalny’s blood but on his clothes. They added that it did not poison Navalny. Multiple calls to the transportation police department were not answered.
