Alexei Navalny has spoken out in a social media post for the first time since his suspected poisoning last month.
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has said he was able to breathe unaided in his first public comments after his alleged poisoning in Siberia last month.
It was his first social media post since he was allegedly poisoned with what Germany says was a Novichok nerve agent. The United Nations human rights chief has called on Russia to conduct or cooperate with a"thorough, transparent, independent and impartial investigation" into the alleged nerve agent attack.
The UN has called on Russia to conduct or cooperate with a"thorough, transparent, independent and impartial investigation" into the alleged attack.Ms Bachelet stressed last week that"the number of cases of poisoning, or other forms of targeted assassination, of current or former Russian citizens, either within Russia itself or on foreign soil, over the past two decades is profoundly disturbing".
Russia had likewise rejected any link to the Skripal case, as well as the death of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, who was poisoned with highly radioactive polonium-210 at a hotel in the British capital.While the UN rights office said that they were not in a position to make direct accusations against Russia in the case, Ms Bachelet noted that nerve agents and radioactive isotopes such as Novichok and Polonium-210 were sophisticated substances that are very hard to get hold of.
