Navajo, leader of Russian opposition in coma

Navajo, 44-year-old, a lawyer and anticorruption activist and one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics, is in hospital in Omsk after losing consciousness during a flight to Moscow after having had a tea.

The plane was forced to land to the hospital. His spokeswoman, Kira Jarmiš, wrote on Twitter that Navilni was in a coma and was in a breathing mood while tests were being conducted.

“Alexei has poisoned”, she wrote. “Alexei is now in intensive care,” says Yirmish, AFP reports.

“I'm sure it's deliberately poisoned,” she told Echo radio station in Moscow, adding that doctors say the poison is absorbed faster if it's in a hot fluid.

State News Agency T The USS reported that Navally was in the toxicology unit of the intensive care unit at a hospital in Omsk.

His condition is grave,” said hospital chief Alexander Murakovski for TASS.

The British agency Reuters reports that one of the doctors at the hospital, Anatoly Kalinichenko, said it was not sure that Navlany was poisoned, as his associates suggest.

Jarmish said that Navajo became ill after drinking black tea at the airport and that he did not consume anything else since the morning. She added that the police had been called to the hospital at their request.

We think Alex was poisoned by something mixed with his tea. This is the only thing he drank in the morning”, it wrote on Twitter.

The head of the Navajo-run Anticorruption Foundation's legal department, Vyacheslav Gimadi, wrote on Twitter that there was no doubt that Navlan had been poisoned because of his political activities.

According to him, Navajo lawyers have requested an investigation into the attempted murder of a public figure.

Navalny has had attacks earlier and is the last in a series of Russian Kremlin critics who are victims of poisoning.

Navajo suffered chemical eye burns in 2017 when an attacker dropped a green liquid used as a disinfectant on his face in front of his office.

A photograph of Navajo drinking tea from a cup of paper appeared in social media.

Passenger from flight Pavel Lebedev reported that Navally went to the bathroom and did not return. He got sick fast and was screaming because of the pain.

S7 Airlines reported that Navally got sick soon after his lift and that he did not eat or drink anything while on the plane.
