Moscow:

Russia’s prison service said Monday that jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who is currently on hunger strike, would be transferred to a hospital for inmates, but deemed his condition to be “satisfactory.”

Prison authorities said in a statement doctors had “made a decision” to deliver Navalny to a medical facility on the premises of his penal colony outside Moscow and that he had agreed to take vitamin supplements as part of medical treatment.
