Alexei Navalny Taken to Charite Hospital in Berlin – Video

BERLIN (Sputnik) – Russian opposition blogger Alexei Navalny has been taken to the Charite Hospital in Berlin for treatment, a Sputnik correspondent reported.

Several ambulances, accompanied by police and Berlin fire service vehicles, arrived at the clinic in central Berlin at around 08:30 a.m. GMT and Navalny was taken inside on a stretcher.

​Navalny was on a flight from the Siberian city of Tomsk to Moscow on Thursday when he became gravely ill. The plane made an emergency landing in Omsk, where Navalny was hospitalised and fell into a coma.

He was later put on a ventilator. His associates believe that the politician was poisoned, most likely after drinking a cup of tea at the airport in Tomsk. However, doctors consider a metabolic dysfunction and a plunge in sugar levels to be the main diagnosis.

On Friday, Omsk doctors greenlighted Navalny’s transportation to Germany for treatment. The Berlin-based Cinema for Peace Foundation sent a plane with a team of medical professionals to Omsk in an effort to move Navalny to the Berlin hospital.
