Plane carrying ill Putin critic Alexei Navalny leaves for Germany, wife thanks supporters

An air ambulance took off from the Siberian city of Omsk on Saturday carrying prominent Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny to Germany for treatment of a suspected poisoning, after a day-long standoff over his medical evacuation.

Doctors treating him in Omsk had refused to let Mr Navalny leave but reversed course after his family and staff demanded he be allowed to travel to Germany.The plane, chartered by the German NGO Cinema for Peace, took off around 0200 GMT to fly Mr Navalny to Berlin's Charite hospital for treatment.Mr Navalny's wife Yulia posted a picture on Instagram of him being lifted into the plane on a covered stretcher and thanked supporters for their"persistence".

Mr Navalny is the latest in a long line of Kremlin critics who have fallen seriously ill or died in apparent poisonings.His wife told journalists that she wanted Mr Navalny to be"in an independent hospital, whose doctors we trust".

RonniSalt Thank God he's out of Russia, I hope he recovers.

RonniSalt This is a warning to Trump and his handlers too. Putin don’t mess about.

Happy travels, comrade.

We don't care, he can't possibly be the only 'suspected' poisoning being transferred between hospitals.

Why this report when it has been widely reported NO TOXINS FOUND?

I’m surprised they waited this long to poison him? Normally Putin’s quicker than that. Hmm 🤔

Yes well, he's lucky that he doesn't live in Victoria. Here, we can't leave the house even if our health is fine.

Each way bet if it will crash

Alexei Navalny: Vladimir Putin opponent fighting for life after suspected poisoningFootage circulating on social media purportedly shows medical workers on a plane attending to Alexei Navalny as he screams in pain following an alleged poisoning engineered by the Kremlin. I hope that’s not true. Trump might be getting Very Nervous.. If he can’t win the election, what might Putin do to him or his kids? I would imagine being poisoned anywhere would be horrendous.....but being stuck on a plane doesn’t bear thinking about! It has become a very dangerous world to live in.
