Yulia Skripal discharged

The daughter of the former Russian double agent, Sergei Skripal, who was poisoned along with her father last month using a nerve agent, was discharged from Salisbury District Hospital on Monday night. Yulia Skripal will require further treatment, but has been taken to an undisclosed secure location in the UK while her future is discussed. Moscow claims it is being denied access to the victims, but reports suggest the 33-year-old has refused consular assistance and may seek political asylum. Sergei Skripal is no longer in a critical condition, and doctors hope he will be able to leave hospital “in due course”.
