Jailed Putin Critic's Daughter Makes Desperate Plea As His Health Worsens

The plea, tweeted Saturday by Alexei Navalny's daughter, came amid a global wave of dismay over Russian authorities' refusal to let President Vladimir Putin's leading critic see his physician as his condition has reportedly worsened.

"Allow a doctor to see my dad." The plea, tweeted Saturday by Alexei Navalny's daughter, came amid a global wave of dismay over Russian authorities' refusal to let President Vladimir Putin's leading critic see his physician as his condition has reportedly worsened. Navalny is on his 19th day on a hunger strike in a Russian prison. Daria Navalnaya, his 20-year-old daughter, is in California studying at Stanford University. Navalny's press secretary KWWira Yarmysh has tweeted that Navalny is "dying," and several doctors said he could go into cardiac arrest at any time. Yarmysh said he had days to live.
