@navalny A fierce anti-corruption activist, @navalny may've been poisoned in airport cafe, returning from Siberia where he collected material for a new investigation of United Russia (Putin's party) deputies. He was helping independent candidates in local elections

@navalny Before boarding the plane in Tomsk, #Navalny was photographed drinking tea at the "Vienna Coffee House" at the local airport. He became ill on the plane, which made an emergency landing in Omsk. where he is hospitalized for suspected poisoning. Instagram.instagram.com/stories/djpavl…
@navalny #Navalny Update: Air ambulance will dispatch to Omsk tonight to transport @navalny to hospital in Berlin, via German NGO @CinemaForPeace. (Same NGO airlifted Pussy Riot's Verzilov to Germany in 2018 aft his suspected poisoning) themoscowtimes.com/2020/08/20/opp… #Russia #PutinsReignofTerror
@navalny @CinemaForPeace Russian protesters in Siberia, where #Navalny was poisoned after traveling to help opposition candidates in local elections. Signs:
—Starovoitova, Politkovskaya, Nemtsov…Navalny?
#WeKnowWhoDidIt
—Putin, Drink Some Tea
—My Russia Has Been Poisoned
—We Know Who Did it—Navalny LIVE
Still unclear if doctors in Omsk will allow #Navalny to be transferred to hospital in Germany for treatment for suspected poisoning. His personal Doc @DrAnastasy who flew to Omsk says she hasn’t been allowed to see him. His brother Oleg arrives tomorrow. meduza.io/news/2020/08/2…
@DrAnastasy It's Litvinenko all over again. Doctors told Navalny's wife that he has been poisoned with a substance that's dangerous to him & others. They WON'T let him out of the country for treatment. Why? Maybe Putin knows German doctors will be able to identify the (radioactive?) poison.
This is outrageous!! #Navalny's been poisoned w/ a deadly possibly radioactive toxin, and they won't allow him to leave Russia for treatment. A German hospital is ready to transfer him. Yet the Chief doctor in Omsk hospital just said their specialists are no worse than Germany’s.
“The doctors now interfering to prevent saving Alexey Navalny’s life are true criminals. They’ll also be sued.”
They identified a deadly poison, won’t reveal its name, & won’t transfer him to specialists in Germany. Seems like they’re protecting somebody other than the patient.
German doctors saw #Navalny & say he's fit for airlifting to Berlin. A medical plane's been in Omsk for hours. @navalny wife & allies say the Russian doctors—now accompanied by Kremlin FSB agents—refuse b/c they're not interested in saving his life. Only in covering up the crime.
@navalny UPDATE on Russian leader #Navalny via #ChariteBerlin hospital:
—lab tests confirm poisoning
—poison: cholinesterase inhibitor
—given antidote atropine
—in medically induced coma
—stable NOT life-threatening condition
—prognosis unclear, possible long-term impact on nervous system
@navalny “Navalny will survive poison attack, but be incapacitated for months as a politician."
#Navalny was campaigning for his strategic Smart Vote project to elect independent candidates in #Russia's regional #elections in September.
So an especially timely political #poisoning.
‼️German doctors say @navalny was poisoned w/ same class of military poisons as #Novichok—the weapons grade chemical nerve agent Russia's GRU used in 2018 #Skripal poisoning in #Salisbury UK. (Omsk docs claim he tested neg for cholinesterase inhibitors🤔) bbc.com/russian/news-5…
