Vladimir:
A team of medics including ailing Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny s personal doctor were denied access Tuesday to a penal colony where he is being treated at a prison hospital.
Navalny, 44, launched a hunger strike on March 31 and his medical team over the weekend warned that his health was failing so rapidly he could die at any minute .
Russia s prison service, which has repeatedly prevented Navalny s doctors from visiting him, on Monday moved him from his penal colony in the Vladimir region some 100 kilometres (60 miles) east of Moscow to a medical facility at another colony in the same region.
