Cinema For Peace Holds Press Conference Over Navalny Case

BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 21: Canadian-Russian artist and activist, Pyotr Verzilov speaks over zoom meeting at the press conference, with Russian politician Leonid Volkov (R) and founder of Cinema For Peace Jaka Biziljover (L), organized by NGO Cinema For Peace over the case of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny on August 21, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. Cinema For Peace had launched an initiative that sent a private plane staffed by German doctors to bring Navalny from Omsk, Russia, for treatment to Berlin. This morning Navalny supporters said they had the necessary papers to facilitate his release from the Omsk hospital, though Omsk doctors later retracted and now say Navalny is not fit to fly and are barring his transfer to Germany. Navalny is in a coma following a possible poisoning. (Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)
