MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd April, 2021) Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny does not require treatment outside the penitentiary system, Russia's human rights commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova has said.
"In the opinion of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Alexey Navalny does not need to be examined and treated in medical organizations outside the penitentiary system as of April 9, 2021," Moskalkova said on April 16 in a letter to Secretary General of the Council of Europe (CoE) Maria Pejcinovic Buric, published by the CoE on Thursday.
Moreover, she mentioned that Navalny "refused to accept the treatment prescribed to him, as was documented in the outpatient medical record."
