Alexei Navalny is a Russian political figure, anti-corruption activist and leader of the opposition Russia of the Future party.

In February 2018 he was "briefly detained" by the Russian government for organising anti-government protests ahead of the country's presidential election from which he had been banned.[1]

In August 2020, Alexei Navalny was hospitalised in a serious condition after his tea was allegedly poisoned before his flight from Siberia to Moscow. During the flight, he became violently ill and was taken to a hospital in Omsk after an emergency landing there, and put in a coma. He was evacuated to a hospital in Germany two days later where he remains in intensive care.[2]

On 26 August 2020, Boris Johnson tweeted:

"The poisoning of Alexei Navalny shocked the world. The UK stands in solidarity with him & his family. We need a full, transparent investigation into what happened. The perpetrators must be held accountable & the UK will join international efforts to ensure justice is done."[3]

Johnson’s statement follows similar calls from Germany, France and Norway. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that if reports about Navalny’s poisoning “prove accurate, the United States supports the European Union’s call for a comprehensive investigation and stands ready to assist in that effort.”[4]
