EU demands immediate access for Navalny’s doctors: Borrell

BRUSSELS, April 19, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – EU foreign policy chief Josep
Borrell said Monday that doctors trusted by Kremlin critic Alexei
Navalny must be allowed to visit him, despite his transfer to a prison
hospital.

“We have had news reported that Mr Navalny has been moved to a
regional prison hospital, but it remains that the Russian authorities
must grant him immediate access to the medical professionals that he
trusts,” Borrell said.
