Russian doctors refuse Navalny’s transfer to Germany | Fox News

By Thomas A. Smith

Russian doctors refused to authorize opposition politician Alexei Navalny’s transfer to a German hospital from the Siberian city of Omsk on Friday.

Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critics, remains in a coma in intensive care after a suspected poisoning his allies link to his political activity and believe was engineered by the Kremlin.

The chief doctor said that Navalny is non-transportable. (His) condition is unstable. Family s decision to transfer him is not enough, Navalny spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh tweeted. Omsk is about 4,200 kilometers (2,500 miles) east of Berlin, roughly a six-hour flight.
