Russian-Canadian Pussy Riot member treated in Berlin for suspected poisoning
BERLIN — A Russian-Canadian member of the protest group Pussy Riot is being treated in Berlin after falling severely ill, with fellow activists alleging he was poisoned.
Pyotr Verzilov was flown to the German capital late Saturday.
Verzilov was first hospitalized in Moscow on Tuesday and had remained in intensive care, Pussy Riot members said this week.
Maria Alekhina, a member of the group, told The Associated Press that he regained consciousness Friday.
