Russian dissident Alexei Navalny arrives in Germany after suspected poisoning

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who fell into a coma after a suspected poisoning, landed in Germany for treatment Saturday following a day-long standoff over whether he would be allowed to leave a Russian hospital.

Navalny remains in a coma but is in stable condition Jaka Bizilj, of the German NGO Cinema For Peace, which arranged the flight out of Russia, told The Associated Press. “Navalny is in Berlin,” Bizilj said. “He survived the flight and he's stable.”

He landed around 9 a.m. Berlin time and was taken to the downtown campus of Berlin's Charite hospital.

The dissident has promoted opposition candidates to Russian President Vladimir Putin since he was kept from running against the longtime leader in 2018’s presidential election.

He fell ill Thursday while on a flight to Moscow and was taken to a Siberian hospital following an emergency landing. His allies suspect tea he was drinking was poisoned by someone linked to Putin.

Navalny was first OK'd to be transferred to a Berlin hospital Friday, but when the German plane equipped with medical supplies arrived, his Russian doctors said he was too fragile to travel, leading supporters to believe his transfer was delayed for political reasons -- until any poison would be untraceable in his system.

Hypoglycemia is not poisoning, it is low blood sugar which is dangerous for a diabetic like Navalny.

The Russians need to take a poison lesson from Agatha Christie...this is the third VIP they poisoned who didn’t die right away.

The NWO types worldwide want Putin in the ground or neutralized for a reason. In my opinion it is the same reason the hate is at level 10 in the US for this world leader. He is no longer a Communist. If Russia returned once again to the “glorious” days of a Soviet republic, the American Commies would embrace the country as if he were a 13 YO on Epstein Island.

That’s fake poisonings. The entire idea is to stir the pot.
