Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny in Coma in German Hospital
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was admitted to a hospital in
Germany on Saturday - two days after he became violently ill aboard a
flight from Siberia to Moscow. Navalny's sudden illness came after he
was seen drinking tea at an airport cafe just before boarding his
flight. A German government spokesperson said it was "fairly likely"
Navalny was poisoned - contradicting denials by Russian doctors who
treated Navalny. He remains in a coma.
