Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny will be flown out of Russia after his wife begged President Vladimir Putin to release her comatose husband amid claims of a cover-up by Russian doctors who claimed he has a heart disease.
Navalny's wife Yulia, begged arch-rival Vladimir Putin to allow him to leave the country for treatment after he fell into a coma amid suspicion he was poisoned with a cup of tea.
Yulia , who has been barred from seeing her husband since he fell unconscious on a flight from Siberia to Moscow yesterday, said it is vital he is taken to Germany for specialist treatment.
This afternoon, doctors at the Siberian hospital where Navalny is being treated, permitted his transportation to a top German medical facility.
A medical plane chartered from Berlin by Navalny's allies arrived in Omsk, the Siberian city where he is being treated, on Friday - but Russian doctors had initially denied them permission to move him, saying his condition is too unstable.
German medics were briefly allowed to see the 44-year-old and ruled he was fit to fly, Navalny's press secretary said, before they were marched into a nearby car and kicked out of the hospital.
