Russia's best-known opposition leader, Alexey Navalny, was flown from Siberia to Berlin for emergency treatment for suspected poisoning.

where he had been meeting with members of a branch of his grassroots activist group. The plane made an emergency landing in the Siberian city of Omsk and he was rushed to a hospital there where he was put in an induced coma and hooked up to a ventilator in intensive care. His colleagues have said they believe he was poisoned, possibly from something slipped into his tea at the airport.

In this file photo taken on Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020, Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny takes part in a march in memory of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in Moscow. Russian doctors finally gave their consent for Navalny to fly on Friday night, though they said they still did not recommend it.

Another anti-Kremlin activist who works with Navalny, Ilya Yashin, wrote on Twitter he felt"relief as if after long negotiations with terrorists they had freed a hostage."

Just like what Trump is trying to do in America

It doesn't make sense that a modern global power has a political system in which medieval practises occur. Perhaps the world should give them less credance as 'world players'?

Hope the blood tests prove that his kidneys are bad and he needs dialysis if the ultrasound proves he does. I would hate to be that sick.

Fake news! As always! Not poison!

It’s surprising that Russia let him fly out

Russia has fallen back into dictatorship and repression. It is like the USSR never fell.

This is politics, Russian style. Varies from North Korea in that it was not by firing squad. Chinese government selects its own leader. Their people are not trusted to choose. The US electoral college votes for President. US citizens are not trusted with the final choice.

Навального завербовали!

Not sure if your reporters saw it but a 21 yo was arrested for stealing a 7 yo hat outside the democrat convention. It’s like you guys live in a bubble

What an ebuul dictator Putin is and yet he just lets him leave

Why moved to one place to another? Maybe they need to leave the country where it seems has issues for him.

Not a word from trump

Russia to let dissident in coma fly to Berlin for treatmentBREAKING: Doctors at the Siberian hospital where Alexei Navalny, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critics, lies in a coma after suspected poisoning have allowed his family to transport him to a top German medical facility. Asher_Wolf If anyone wanted to manufacture consent to escalate tensions with Russia, having the story go that he was poisoned and died would be very convenient.
