Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny is unconscious in hospital with suspected poisoning, his spokeswoman has said.

The anti-corruption campaigner fell ill during a flight and the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk, Kira Yarmysh said, adding that they suspected something had been mixed into his tea.

A hospital source confirmed treatment for poisoning to the Tass news agency.

Mr Navalny, 44, is a staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin.

In June he described a vote on constitutional reforms as a "coup" and a "violation of the constitution".

The reforms allow Mr Putin to serve another two terms in office.

Poisoning is what happens when you close all the windows.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

I am incredibly fucking sick of seeing the same tired jokes about suicide whenever stories like this make headlines.
