Jailed Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny Gravely Ill Amid Poisoning Fears and Dire Conditions

Navalny has lost a significant amount of weight, up to 18 pounds in two weeks, and is suffering from acute stomach pain that has required an ambulance to transport him to a hospital.
The opposition leader's health is deteriorating in a penal colony where he has been repeatedly placed in solitary confinement for minor infractions.
Navalny's team believes he is being poisoned through unidentified medication, and he is receiving no medical treatment for his condition.
International human rights groups and Western governments have called for Navalny's release and voiced concerns that his life is in danger.
The Kremlin has refused to comment on Navalny's health, insisting his imprisonment is justified and a domestic matter.
