I remember when Kara-Murza left the relative safety of the west to return to Russia. I’ve been fearing news like this ever since. I have no idea how these guys (him and Navalny) get the courage to walk into the lion’s den.

@chonglibloodsport well, for them it is their country. They had all the right in the world to return and fight for a change just as they had all the right to stay inside their adoptive countries in a relative safety (provided the Kremlin would not assassinate them there). They chose the former, probably thinking they would make a bigger impact inside the country. Well, turns it wasn't such a great idea.

Good chance Kara-Mira has a fatal condition.

He does: fighting for human rights, democracy, justice. Which is fatal in Russia.

The hospital is apparently on the sixth floor, with many windows.

So yes.
