Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny speaks out for the first time about his hospitalization this week, writing that he suspects he may have been poisoned.
The Russian opposition leader, Alexey Navalny, has spoken out for the first time about his hospitalization this week, writing that he suspects he may have been poisoned.
Writing in his blog late Monday night, Navalny described what happened to him and said he agreed it was possible he had become the latest in a series of Kremlin opponents to be poisoned over the years. Navalny’s illness comes amid a crackdown against the anti-Kremlin opposition, which saw Russian police arrest almost 1,400 people at a protest last Saturday.
There was a simple way to determine if there had been foul play, Navalny wrote: Review the security camera footage in his cell to see if anyone other than the detention center staff had entered it while he wasn’t present. He said he ruled out his guards’ involvement, since they were “shocked more” than him by his appearance.
Navalny’s possible poisoning comes at a time of heightened activity among the opposition. The protest last Saturday was called by Navalny and other activists after authorities barred opposition candidates from taking part in the Moscow city council election this September.
