A police officer stands guard outside Charite Hospital Complex in Berlin, where Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is expected to be treated. "Navalny’s condition is stable,” said Jaka Bizilj, the head of Cinema for Peace after the flight touched down at Tegel airport in Berlin. The arrival of the air ambulance followed a day-long standoff over Navalny’s medical evacuation. Russian doctors had said he was in a coma and breathing through a ventilator in a grave state. The air ambulance arrived in Omsk on Friday morning but Russian doctors initially said Navalny was too “unstable” to be moved.
