Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny is unconscious in hospital suffering from suspected poisoning, his spokeswoman has said.

The anti-corruption campaigner fell ill during a flight and the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk, where medics said he was in a coma and they were trying to save his life.

His team suspects faul game, and even assassination attempt, presuming that something was put in his tea at an airport cafe shortly before the flight back to Moscow from hism trip in Siberia.

The Kremlin said that it wished Mr Navalny a “speedy recovery”, however Navlny team was accusing the authorities to keeping him hostage in the hospital, and refusing access to his wife and medics from Germany, who arrived to Omsk to air-lift him to Berlin Charite hospitla to receive relevant treatment.

Mr Navalny, 44, has for years been among President Vladimir Putin’s staunchest critics.
In June he described a vote on constitutional reforms as a “coup” and a “violation of the Constitution”. The reforms allow Mr Putin to serve another two terms in office, after the four terms he has already had.
Recently Navalny was accused by Belrus President Alexander Lukashenko in acting as an agitator for the civil unrest.
