Alexei Navalny became ill in the colony last week and was given an IV - Yarmysh

Last week, Alexei Navalny became ill in his cell, said his press secretary Kira Yarmysh . According to her, the oppositionist became dizzy and lay down on the floor.

“The colony staff immediately came running, lowered the bed, laid Alexei down and put on an IV. We don’t know what it was, but given that he was deprived of food, kept in a punishment cell without ventilation and had his walking time reduced to a minimum, it looked like a hungry faint,” Yarmysh wrote. She added that lawyers saw Navalny after the incident and that he was “relatively fine.”

However, now the oppositionist’s defenders have not been able to meet with him for three days, and his supporters also know nothing about his condition, Yarmysh said. According to her, letters used to come from Navalny “at least sometimes,” “albeit censored,” but this week there were no letters from him. The letters were also not delivered to him.

Today, lawyers spent the whole day near special regime colonies No. 6 and No. 7 in the Vladimir region, added Navalny’s press secretary. In both they were told to “wait”, but in the end they were denied access to the oppositionist.

Earlier, the director of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, Ivan Zhdanov , said that Navalny was once again not taken via video link to the court hearing, today “due to problems with electricity.”

on Alexei Navalny’s social networks On December 7, a call appeared to vote for any candidate other than Putin in the presidential elections. As part of this initiative, his team launched the “Russia without Putin” campaign.

Supporters of the oppositionist installed banners in several Russian cities with QR codes leading to the website of the “Russia without Putin” initiative. After this, the Moscow authorities banned the placement of billboards with QR codes in the city, and the website of the “Russia without Putin” campaign stopped opening in the country without a VPN.
