Russian opposition leader & leading Putin critic, Alexei Navalny, is unconscious & on a ventilator in hospital after suspected poisoning of his tea at an airport. He fell ill on the plane which made an emergency landing in Omsk. #BREAKING #AlexeiNavalny bbc.com/news/world-eur…
Almost exactly a year ago, #AlexeiNavalny was released from jail after being arrested the month before in what @amnesty described as an “open & shameless attempt by Russia’s authorities to intimidate the opposition ahead of September’s elections.” #Navalny
