In Omsk, the police detained participants in one-man pickets against the appointment of Alexander Murakhovsky as the regional health minister. Previously, he worked as the head physician of the hospital where oppositionist Alexei Navalny was treated before being transferred to a Berlin clinic. According to OVD-Info, six people were detained, among them are employees of the regional headquarters of Mr. Navalny.
The appointment of Mr. Murakhovsky became known yesterday, November 7. The previous head of the ministry, Irina Soldatova, was dismissed after an incident on October 27, when two ambulance teams brought patients to the building of the Ministry of Health. Regional authorities claim that the candidacy of Mr. Murakhovsky has been approved by the Federal Ministry of Health.
Mr. Murakhovsky argued that the research results did not confirm the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. According to the Omsk hospital, the oppositionist was in a coma due to metabolic disorders. Germany and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons claim that the politician was poisoned with a poison from the Novichok group. Mr Navalny said earlier that Alexander Murakhovsky “is worse than secret agents who kill people.” At the same time, the oppositionist thanked the pilots and Omsk ambulance doctors.
