A video circulating on social media Thursday purportedly shows medical workers attending to Alexei Navalny on a plane as he screams in pain after what his allies allege was a poisoning engineered by the Kremlin. The video, which appears to have been first posted on Instagram Stories by a passenger, shows the medics rushing down the aisle as other passengers look on as a man can be heard moaning in agony off-camera. „At the start of the flight (Navalny) went to the toilet and he didn’t come back,“ the passenger posted in a message to the Instagram story. „He became very ill and they could barely resuscitate him as he screamed in pain. They are not saying what is wrong with him. Now we have landed in Omsk. An ambulance came.“ Navalny’s spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, tweeted that he had fallen ill during a flight back to Moscow from the Siberian city of Tomsk and was taken to a hospital after the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk Yarmysh told the Echo Moskvy radio station that he must have consumed poison in tea he drank at an airport cafe before boarding the plane early Thursday.
