For an “acute pain in the stomach” in the night between Friday and Saturday Alexei Navalny requested the intervention of an ambulance inside the maximum security prison of Melekhovo, where he has been held since last June for a 9-year sentence for fraud and embezzlement, deemed by him and international allies to be a politically motivated ruling. “In the last 15 days in solitary confinement” the leader of the Russian opposition “has lost 8 kilos”, reveals his spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh.
“When Alexei asked what he was sick with – explains the woman – the prison doctor replied mockingly that ‘it’s only spring and everyone has exacerbations’. We do not exclude that for all this time in prison he may have been poisoned with something that slowly but steadily deteriorates his health ”. In addition to the risk of food contamination, Navalny’s experience in prison is made particularly difficult by the continuous isolation he is subjected to: on Monday he was placed in a special cell for the thirteenth time, after he had just been released last Friday.
“One of the prison officers told him that a provocation was being prepared against him – underlines the spokeswoman – his health is getting worse day by day. Only advertising can help him. Please share.”
