About 300 Russian doctors signed a letter in defense of Navalny in less than a day. They demand to “stop bullying” the politician

On January 10, in less than a day after the publication of an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin in support of opposition politician Alexei Navalny, about 300 Russian doctors signed this letter.

“We cannot and do not have the right to calmly look at the deliberate infliction of harm to the health of politician Alexei Navalny, which takes place in correctional colony No. 6 of the Federal Penitentiary Service in the Vladimir Region,” the letter says.

Its authors and the doctors who signed it express "tremendous concern for the life and health" of Navalny.

We demand an end to the abuse of Alexei Navalny, we demand an end to sending Alexei to a ShIZO, we demand that civilian doctors be allowed to see him and, if there is evidence, that he be hospitalized in a civilian hospital for a full examination and treatment.

The authors of the letter demanded compliance with the law on health protection and the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which is the guarantor of the President of Russia.

Doctors who are ready to sign the appeal can leave comments under the post of Alexander Vanyukov.

• Alexei Navalny, Russia's top opposition politician, has been imprisoned for two years. During his detention in the colony, he was already sent to a punishment cell 10 times . According to lawyer Vadim Kobzev, the politician is in the ShIZO "with fever, cough and fever."
• Navalny is being held in IK-6 in the Vladimir region. This is a strict regime colony, where, as journalists have repeatedly written, torture is used against prisoners.
