Alexei Navalny, who fell ill with SARS after an infected prisoner was placed in his cell, was finally given antibiotics and even boiling water. This was announced by his lawyer Vadim Kobzev. According to him, the letter signed by the doctors in support and protection of Navalny with a demand to stop bullying him had an effect.
“It was not enough for the colony to simply keep him in the ShIZO all the time. It was necessary that he was also a patient in the ShIZO. They “released” his cellmate three times, immediately “hospitalized” him to a hospital filled with flu and covid patients, and returned him back to Navalny a day later. At Navalny’s request to be taken to the medical unit, he was told that this could not be done, since there is a high risk of contracting a more dangerous type of virus. On January 3, he began to seek medical help, and on January 9 he became completely ill with all the classic symptoms of SARS: chills, fever, severe cough, low temperature – it was not above 37.1. In a normal situation, this is not so dangerous, but in ShIZO the flu has to be endured “on one’s feet” literally – the bed is unfastened from the wall only at night, elementary medicines are not accepted from an ordinary pharmacy, although bundles of applications are written to all addresses.
The open letter from the doctors obviously had an effect, but so far the classic FSIN – everyone ran terribly and fussed, they measured the temperature under the video recorder, but nothing else happened. The main positive news is that Navalny's condition has stopped deteriorating, he is given antibiotics and additional boiling water. Two cups a day. We have postponed all trials until the end of the week. We don't know if the donated medicines will be given back, but we hope so. Navalny sends his regards to everyone, thank you for your concern and special thanks to the doctors who supported him.”
On January 11, it was reported that more than 500 doctors signed an open letter to Putin demanding that doctors be allowed to see Navalny and stop sending him to the ShIZO. At the time of writing this news, there are already 626 such signatures.
On December 31, Navalny was sent to the ShIZO for the 10th time. Each time the cause is a minor “misconduct”. This time, for example, he washed himself half an hour earlier than expected.
