Kira Yarmysh, Navalny's spokesperson, wrote: "He fell ill in his cell last week. He got dizzy and laid down on the floor."The colony staff came over immediately, lowered the cot, laid Alexey down and gave him an IV." They later confirmed, on a post made to social media platform X, that nobody has been allowed to see him after he fainted.The post continued: "We don't know what it was, but given the fact that he's not being fed, is being kept in a punishment cell with no ventilation and the time for walks has been reduced to a minimum, it looks like a hunger faint."Lawyers were told they would see him when prison officials allowed, and though Navalny has spoken to his team since his faint, there has been no contact with the Putin critic for the last three days, the Mirror reports.
