Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, is in a coma in a Siberian hospital after he fell unwell and a plane he was on was forced to make an emergency landing. Kira Yarmysh, his press secretary, tweeted that his team is assuming he was poisoned with something slipped into his tea.
Videos from the plane appear to show a man moaning in pain as medical personnel rush aboard. Hospital officials say that his condition is stable, according to the Guardian.
