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]
On 2 September 2020, German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the apparent poisoning of Alexei Navalny as "an attempted murder with nerve agent" after a toxicology test in Germany showed that the opposition leader had been targeted with Novichok. Merkel said the case raises "very serious questions that only the Russian government can answer and must answer." She said Berlin will now confer with its EU and NATO partners to discuss an appropriate reaction to the incident, as well as notifying the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as to the findings.[5]
