UN Rights Chief Condemns Navalny Poisoning, Calls for Probe

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has
   condemned the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny,
   allegedly by Russian agents, and is calling for a thorough, impartial
   investigation.
   Bachelet welcomes the news that Navalny has emerged from an induced
   coma in a Berlin hospital. The Russian opposition figure was
   transferred there several days after falling ill on a flight from
   Siberia, following a diplomatic spat between Russia and Germany.
   Bachelet's spokesman, Rupert Colville says the High Commissioner has no
   doubt that Russian agents poisoned Navalny with a deadly Soviet-era
   nerve agent.
