The move comes after Navalny’s physician warned the 44-year-old could be on the verge of death in jail due to his rapidly deteriorating health.
Russia’s prison authority has announced that Alexey Navalny would be hospitalised amid mounting global concern for the hunger-striking Kremlin critic, whose health is reportedly deteriorating rapidly. The prison service said in a statement on Monday that the jailed opposition politician, who is in the third week of his hunger strike, would be moved from jail to a hospital for prisoners. The statement added that the 44-year-old’s condition had been deemed “satisfactory” and he had agreed to take vitamin supplements.More Related News
