Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny lost eight kilogrammes before he went on hunger strike, his team said Thursday, as allies have expressed deep concern about his deteriorating health. Navalny, President Vladimir Putin's most vocal critic, went on hunger strike on Wednesday to demand proper medical treatment for his back pain and numbness in both legs. In a post on Facebook, his team said that Navalny, who is 189 centimetres (six feet two inches) tall, weighed 93 kilogrammes (205 pounds) when he arrived in his penal colony. "Right now he weighs 85 (kilogrammes). That is minus eight kilogrammes even before the hunger strike," the team said.More Related News
