VOA常速英语2021--俄反对派纳瓦尔尼所在监狱爆发肺结核

This is VOA news. Via remote, I'm Marissa Melton. Jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny has been moved to a sick ward¹ after complaining of a cough and a temperature. That's according to the Izvestia newspaper on Monday. Earlier Monday, Navalny said in an Instagram post that a third prisoner in his quarters had been sent to the hospital with suspected tuberculosis². In the post, Navalny said prison doctors had officially diagnosed him with a "severe cough" and a slight fever. Navalny, who is President Vladimir Putin's most prominent critic, is currently imprisoned³ about 100 kilometers from Moscow in what's known as one of the toughest penitentiaries⁴ in Russia. Tuberculosis is a potentially serious contagious⁵ disease that affects the lungs. It's mainly spread through coughing and sneezing. Russian police arrested Navalny in January upon his return from Germany on charges of violating his parole. The anti-corruption fighter had been recuperating⁶ in Berlin for several months after being poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent. Navalny has accused agents of Russia's Federal Security Service of poisoning him. Navalny's imprisonment⁷ has drawn⁸ a chorus of international criticism, with the United States and its allies demanding his unconditional⁹ release and vowing¹⁰ to continue to hold those responsible for his poisoning to account.
