Original Text
The plane on which my father had collapsed had to make an emergency landing in a city in Siberia. And after two days, an international uproar and my mom fighting tooth and nail to get him out of there, he was finally transferred to the clinic called Charité in Berlin, Germany. There, at the special laboratory of the German armed forces, they confirmed that he was indeed poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent of the Novichok group. He spent three weeks in a coma. And after months and months of recovery, he went back to work with the Anti-Corruption Foundation.
(Applause)
Founded over a decade ago, the Anti-Corruption Foundation has been doing incredibly important and dangerous work of spreading information and exposing the corrupt nature of the Russian government. We've produced over 500 investigations, helped organize hundreds of protests in Moscow and run election campaigns. We provide free legal assistance to those who, like my father, have been imprisoned for peacefully protesting the regime. We've created a sanctions list of 6,000 government officials, propagandists, entrepreneurs, various artists and more people who've supported and worked with Putin over the years. And the list works. Governments all over the world have used our list when imposing sanctions.
