Dear Alexander Petrovich!

In the FCU IK-2 of the Office of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Vladimir Region from 11.03.2021 and to the present, Navalny Alexei Anatolyevich, who is our patient, is contained.

Given the sharp negative dynamics of laboratory research data A.A. Navalny, we express extreme concern about his state, which is close to critical. The patient develops renal failure, which has already led to severe metabolic disturbances (potential readings - 7.1 mmol/l), and

Next, it can lead to the most severe pathology of the cardiovascular system up to cardiac arrest.

Also, growing neurological symptoms, hypesthesia in the limbs, neuropathic pain, and axial pain causes serious fears.

We urgently turn to negotiate and urgent medical consultation with medical workers of medical units No. 33 to discuss the diagnostic studies and prescribed treatment, as well as to remove the patient from a critical condition that threatens death.

We ask us to allow us to inspect our patient, whom we have observed for many years.

We are also ready to immediately start negotiations and do everything possible today, since any delay and expectation during the weekend can lead to severe consequences for the life and health of our patient.

In accordance with the Tokyo Declaration of 1975, revised in 2016, the doctor does not have the right to ignore the torture of a patient who is deprived of the right to provide medical care and the possibility of consultations with healing doctors.

Sincerely,

Yaroslav Ashshin
