Navalny, who remains in a medically-induced coma, was evacuated to Germany from the Siberian city of Omsk on Saturday morning.

Local doctors treating the activist initially refused to allow his transfer, arguing that his condition was not stable enough. However, after consultations with German specialists, they later approved the flight.

Jaka Bizilj, the head of the Cinema for Peace Foundation, which arranged for Navalny’s flight, told Bild that the activist’s condition was “stable” during the journey and upon landing.
