#Navalny's message from the colony, just now: "I wish you'd see me now - you'd laugh. Imagine a skeleton walking, staggering around the cell, desperately smacking mosquitoes on the walls and ceiling with a rolled up court order." Thread #FreeNalvany
"These squeaking and biting critters could kill a person faster than any hunger strike.
You can tell horror stories about me to kids who refuse to eat their meals.
Masha, if you don't eat your cereal, you will become like this man, all giant ears, a skull-like face & sunken eyes.
"Oh no, Mom! Please! I'll eat everything and ask for more!
But anyway, life brings you great moments and you have fun and laugh.
This weekend - I will not lie - wasn't good. I was admitted to a prison hospital ward at another penal colony.
"This means they strip you and search you, for hours. Then they transport you - a shaky ride in an iron box. Then they search you again. "Take off your shoes, squat, show your feet, open your mouth."
You are in a cell, not really knowing where you are.
"You are doing the most important thing for a prisoner: shoo away the thoughts of loneliness. Remember the most important: villains and tyrants want you to feel lonely.
But last night, my lawyer managed to get through the obstacles to see me, literally for 5 minutes.
"He told me about your huge support. Both in Russia and around the world. This moment was worth a lot.
And I laughed when I read quotes from some medical profession luminaries: with my blood test level of potassium, I should either be in intensive care or dead.
"Well, no, not that easy there. After Novichok, I can handle potassium.
Thank you very much. There are so many people like me - we have nothing but a mug of water, hope, and strong beliefs. Both in Russia and in the world. In prisons, and still free.
"It is extremely important for these people to feel your support and solidarity. It seems that this is not a big deal and it is not hard. Yet, it is the best weapon against injustice and lawlessness.
We only live and survive due to it. Despite the high level of potassium 😉"
#Navalny's lawyer: "He is in a solitary confinement cell of the tuberculosis hospital in a strict regime colony. He was hospitalized on Sunday and was administered a glucose drip on the fourth night. Last night, 3 nurses made 6 attempts to get another IV, but failed.
"Now his arms are poked with needles and bruised." A team of personal doctors was not allowed in again yesterday. The Anti-Corruption Foundation is calling for all-Russia protest. Moscow Mayor banned all public gatherings. Personal info of people registered to protest leaked.
I will share the list of all cities and countries protesting around the world in a few minutes. Help and share this information. Please.

🔴A new message from #Navalny (just out, 20 min ago): "It's getting harder and harder to figure out what's really going on there, outside of my prison cell." Thread. 👇The article on the protests👇(50--120,000 in the streets, 1,200arrested) Pls RT zarinazabrisky.medium.com/putin-addresse…
"Hi, this is Navalny. It's getting harder and harder for me to figure out what's really going on there, outside of my prison cell. Right now I only have a TV without remote control, & all the buttons (including the volume one!!!) are blocked so I can only watch a Culture channel"
"One hour a day. But my lawyer came to visit and told me a bit about what happened yesterday and - I will tell you honestly - two feelings are raging inside me: pride and hope. Pride for being a part of this great and beautiful whole..."

BREAKING: Arrests and raids galore in Russia, as the country braces itself for unsanctioned rallies in support of #Navalny & #Putin's address to the nation. I will report live. In Moscow, the police just pulled out of a taxi and drove away an opposition leader Lyubov Sobol.👇👇👇
BREAKING: In St. Petersburg, the police searched the homes of six activists and a journalist. Water canon trucks appeared on the main street of the city. In Kurgan, an employee of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Fund center, as well as the girlfriend of the coordinator, were detained.
In Irkutsk, an activist was detained six hours before the rally, without a reason, as he walked down the street. In Ulan-Ude, the mayor's office suddenly decided to fumigate the square where the rally was planned, "against ticks."

The situation in #Russia escalates. #Navalny was transferred to a penal colony hospital. His trusted doctors are still not allowed to see him. No more blood test results. His lawyer was only allowed to see him for several minutes. Vitamin treatment is administered/no details.👇🏽
Navalny's allies are calling for an all-Russia protest. Their organization is about to be proclaimed a terrorist organization. Anyone associated with Navalny can be imprisoned for 6-10 years. The database with emails of people registered for the rally hacked and made public. 👇🏽
We will be holding rallies around the US and Canada to advocate appropriate independent medical attention to Alexey Navalny. The rally will take place on April 20 and 21--see the list of current events and more will be added. 👇🏽

👇🏼🛑EU leaders: The European Union is deeply concerned about reports that the Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny’s health in the penal colony continues to deteriorate even further. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…
We call on the Russian authorities to grant him immediate access to medical professionals he trusts. The Russian authorities are responsible for Mr Navalny’s safety and health in the penal colony, to which we hold them to account
As a continuation to the clear messages passed during the High Representative’s visit to Moscow in February regarding the situation of Mr Navalny, the EU will continue to call for his immediate and unconditional release as we consider his sentencing politically motivated

⚡Today, as the whole world is pleading with the Kremlin to let #Navalny be seen by doctors, a medical team (resuscitation specialist, MDs, neurosurgeon) came to Navalny's colony & for hours begged to check on Navalny but were not allowed inside. 20 days of hunger strike.Thread👇🏽
Navalny's team & leaders of his Anti-Corruption Foundation called for all-Russia protests on Wed, April 21. Their address: "Have you ever witnessed a murder of a human being? You are watching it now... Navalny is being killed as you are reading this. In a terrifying manner."👇🏽👆
This week, the Kremlin started a process to recognize the Anti-Corruption Foundation and Navalny's HQ as an extremist organization. The Foundation carried out investigations for 10 yrs under extreme pressure, facing raids, arrests, criminal cases, interrogations 👆👇🏽

These are real heroes. This doctor just spent over a month under home arrest (first w/o the right to seeing her kids.) Now, she & her colleagues are going to the penal colony to insist on the right to treat #Navalny. His condition is deteriorating; the colony is struck by TB.
This is the same doctor who played Beethoven while her house was being searched. Here's my interview with her lawyer from 2 months ago only. Now she's risking her life again...
#Navalny is on a hunger strike and lost 13 kg (26 lbs). He's showing symptoms of the coma and toxic poisoning aftermath, according to the doctors in the video above. #Putin is killing people in the broad daylight and in front of the whole world. Share a word.
