The Russian prison service has asked Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny to appear in person at the authority’s office. If you return to Russia after the deadline, you face prison. The FSIN prison authority announced Monday.

Navalny was discharged from the hospital on September 20 and has had no symptoms since October 12, according to the statement, referring to a report in “The Lancet” magazine. That’s why Navalny had to appear at the scene, in accordance with the parole requirements of a prison sentence, to which Navalny was sentenced in 2014.

Navalny, who is recovering from the aftermath of the attack in Germany, published a letter to his lawyer stating that he had to report to an office in Moscow before 9 am this Tuesday (local time). A Navalny spokeswoman said it was impossible. Furthermore, the opposition continues to suffer the consequences of its poisoning. The FSIN acts at the behest of the Russian government.

Recently, on Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow said, referring to the article: “We do not read any medical publications.” Doctors at the Charité in Berlin had listed the symptoms after Navalny’s poisoning in detail in “The Lancet.”

Collapsed on the plane

Navalny had collapsed on a domestic flight on August 20 and was airlifted for treatment at the Berlin Charité after receiving initial treatment in Russia. According to the federal government, Putin’s prominent opponent was poisoned with a neurotoxin from the Novitschok group, which developed during the Soviet era.

Navalny had repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to return to Russia. He blames an FSB “assassin squad” for the poison attack and accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of being the mastermind behind the attack.

SPIEGEL’s investigation with Bellingcat and other partners had shown that at least eight FSB agents were apparently involved in the poison attack on Alexei Navalny and had followed him for months or years.

More recently, a recording of Navalny’s phone call with one of the agents clarified the situation: During the conversation, Navalny pretended to be the agent’s Russian superior. He then said, among other things, that the poison had been placed in Navalny’s underwear.

The Kremlin continues to deny the accusations to this day. Russian doctors had only certified Navalny, to the horror of many colleagues, as having a metabolic disorder. Moscow and the EU imposed themselves on each other in response to the case.

A prominent Navalny supporter, attorney Lyubow Sobol, was arrested for 48 hours on Friday. According to official information, they are being investigated for break-ins and threats of violence. Sobol said the trial against her was revenge against Navalny.
