Russian doctors refuse to let 'poisoned' opposition leader Navalny be flown to Germany for treatment
Source: ABC News
Russian doctors have refused to allow the anti-Kremlin opposition leader Alexey Navalny to be evacuated from Siberia to Germany for treatment for suspected poisoning, prompting accusations from his colleagues that the Kremlin is trying to cover up that he might have been poisoned.
An air ambulance organized by the Berlin-based non-profit Cinema for Peace landed in Omsk on Friday morning and was ready to carry Navalny to the German capital for treatment at a hospital there, Navalny's spokesman said.
But the head doctor at the Omsk hospital treating Navalny, Alexander Murakhovsky told reporters the hospital would not release Navalny for transport, saying his condition did not currently allow it. Another doctor at the hospital said at the current time they also do believe Navalny had been poisoned, saying no traces of poison have been found in his urine or blood.
"So at the present time, the diagnosis of poisoning, well, it probably remains in the back of our minds somewhere, but we don't believe that the patients suffered poisoning," deputy chief doctor, Anatoly Kalanichenko told reporters on camera. He said doctors were close now to confirming a different diagnosis.

(14,624 posts)they would say "no evidence" because Vlad ordered them to. This is the sort of thing Stalin did to his enemies, except that Stalin, not being GRU (well, its equivalent at the time) had to use less sophisticated methods. Vlad aspires to be Stalin, and Donny aspires to be Vlad. The closest Donny could ever get would be Idi Amin, but he doesn't have the army.
