Alexei Navalny’s lawyer says the jailed Russian opposition leader is suffering from a mystery stomach illness that led to him losing 18 pounds in 15 days in solitary is being denied treatment…
Supporters of Alexei Navalny, Russia’s imprisoned opposition leader, said that he has been suffering from unexplained stomach pain and had lost an alarming amount of weight, leading them to speculate that he is being gradually poisoned.
Kobzev claimed that his client has not been receiving any treatment for his condition and that prison officials have been “brazenly” turning away packages containing medications, which Navalny’s mother has been sending him. The attorney added that while the poisoning claim may sound like “ravings and paranoia in relation to someone else, but not to Navalny after ‘Novichok.’”with the “Novichok” nerve agent in Aug. 2020.
Navalny said he had been released from solitary confinement Friday and then sentenced to another 15 days in the “punishment cell” Monday, after his supporters on the outside released an investigation showing that the prison service was allegedly overpaying for cabbage and pocketing the surplus.
