Foreign ministers from the seven countries arrived on Tuesday demanding that Russia get down as quickly as possible with those behind the alleged poisoning of regime critic Alexei Navalny. They also demand that the culprits be brought to justice.
“We, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the G7 countries, calls on Russia to urgently and consistently clarify who is guilty of this disgusting poisonous attack and that, with reference to the signing of the Chemical Weapons Convention by Russia, they will bring the culprits to justice, “the ministers said in a joint statement Tuesday.
Previously, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, filed a similar lawsuit.
Germany announced last week that it had found unequivocal evidence that Navalny was poisoned by the powerful neurotoxin novitjok. The findings are based on a toxicological study in a special military laboratory of samples taken in Navalny, according to the German government.
It’s the same kind of theme It was used against former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the English city of Salisbury two years ago, and the suspicions are directed at Russian state actors.
Novitjok belongs to a group of substances that were originally developed in the Soviet Union. According to experts, in principle only state actors have the capacity to develop the poison since the production process is so advanced.
The Kremlin has denied its involvement and on Tuesday the Russian Foreign Ministry said it had summoned the German ambassador to Moscow to protest. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zacharova accuses Germany of “bragging” in her remarks about Navalny, Reuters reports.
On Tuesday, the doctors too in the Siberian city of Omsk, where Navalny was treated for the first time after falling ill during a domestic flight, they develop along the same lines.
– It was not a novelty, says Omsk chief toxicologist Aleksander Sabayev during a press conference according to the Interfax news agency.
– It wasn’t poisoning at all. It is a disease, a metabolic disease. It quickly got worse and led to a coma.
Navalny fell ill on a flight between Siberian Tomsk and Moscow on August 20 and the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk. His co-workers immediately said they thought Navalny was poisoned when he drank a cup of tea at the airport and the Omsk hospital admitted him to the toxicology department.
Later, however, the doctors stated that after taking samples they did not believe that Navalny was poisoned. Two days later, Navalny flew to Berlin to be treated at the Charité Hospital, where a contrary assessment was made.
Navalny has been awakened from the artificial coma in which he has been put and is responding to the charges, the Charité Hospital in Berlin announced on Monday. They added that his condition has improved and that preparations are being made to end the ventilator care.
