Well, hands up who's surprised:

Russian opposition leader Navalny may have been poisoned - doctor - Reuters

one doctor who has treated him in the past and was able to briefly speak to him and look at him through the crack of a door on Sunday said she could not rule out that he had been poisoned.

“We cannot rule out that toxic damage to the skin and mucous membranes by an unknown chemical substance was inflicted with the help of a ‘third party’,” Anastasia Vasilyeva, the doctor, wrote on Facebook.

Vasilyeva, who said Navalny had a rash on his upper body, skin lesions, and discharge from his eye, called for samples of Navalny’s bed sheets, skin and hair to be tested for chemicals.

She said she found the fact that she had not been allowed to examine him properly suspicious.

Navalney was arrested on July 14, 2019 and has been in detention ever since.

In 2017 Navalny was attacked with Zelyonka (a malachite dye) and lost 80% of the sight in his right eye.

This is Putin's Russia. He will imprison, maim, or kill those who oppose him.
 
Kremlin Critic Navalny Returned to Jail From Hospital Despite Poisoning Fears

7/19/19
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was discharged from a Moscow hospital on Monday and returned to prison under guard after being treated for what his lawyer and doctor have described as suspected poisoning from a chemical agent. Navalny, 43, was rushed to hospital from jail on Sunday with what his spokeswoman said were signs of an acute allergy with "severe swelling of the face and skin redness." The Moscow hospital treating him said on Monday it had discharged him after his condition had improved. It said it could not disclose what it believed had been behind his sudden illness due to patient confidentiality. Elena Sibikina, one of the doctors who treated Navalny, told reporters that the idea that he had been poisoned with a chemical substance had "not been proven." She said his life was not in danger.

His own doctor and lawyer said they opposed the "strange" decision to return Navalny to a prison cell where they believe he was somehow poisoned in the first place. "He was really poisoned by some unknown chemical substance," Olga Mikhailova, his lawyer, told reporters. "But what the substance was has not been established." Navalny's sudden hospitalization infuriated supporters who suspect he may have been targeted as part of one of the biggest crackdowns in recent years against the opposition. Allies say he risks another flare-up if traces of the substance they fear poisoned him are still present in his cell. His personal doctor, Anastasia Vasilyeva, said she had taken samples of his hair and a T-shirt to be tested at an independent laboratory for signs he had been poisoned. She dismissed the idea that he may have had a chance allergic reaction to something he'd unwittingly come in contact with like washing powder. "How can you unintentionally poison someone?" she said, adding it had probably been done to scare him.

I wish all speed to Navalny and his recovery. The Putin regime would love to see him dead, but not from anything too overt that could be traced back to them.

One of the ***** Riot founders - Maria Alyokhina - is to begin a 30 day jail sentence.
