Alexei Navalny, the head of Russia's opposition statistics, has been released’ from a hospital where he was being treated for poisoning in Novosibirsk.
The 44-year-old fell ill on a domestic
flight to Siberia last month and was flown’ to Berlin in a coma.
Laboratories in Germany, France and Sweden
have confirmed that he was poisoned’ with the same neurotransmitter used to
target Sergei Scripps in Salisbury in 2018.
A statement from Charity Hospital in
Germany on Wednesday said Mr. Neville's condition had improved so much that he
could no longer care for critically ill patients.
"Therapists believe that a full
recovery is possible," he added, based on his development and current
condition.
But the hospital warned that "the
long-term effects of this severe poisoning are yet to be assessed."
Mr. Neville has been in the hospital for 32
days - 24 of whom are in intensive care.
His team said they searched a room in a
Siberian hotel where he had been staying before the flight on August 20 - an
hour after the news broke.
He claimed to have been poisoned’ using a
water bottle gathered as part of any evidence that could be hypothetical.
He added that all of this was transferred’
to German authorities because "the fact is that the matter cannot be
investigated in Russia."
