Top Vladimir Putin critic and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is missing from a prison where he was being held, according to his allies.<\/p>\n

Prison authorities asserted that Navalny, renowned for mocking the Russian President and exposing widespread corruption, had been relocated from the penal colony where he was serving his sentence.<\/p>\n

“Where he was taken is not known,” said Navalny\u2019s spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh. She added that lawyers had not seen Navalny since December 6.<\/p>\n

Navalny’s lawyer, Vyacheslav Gimadi, said that prison officials informed a court on Friday about Navalny’s departure from the IK-6 facility in Melekhovo, located 145 miles east of Moscow. However, there is still no knowledge of his current location.<\/p>\n

Navalny was sentenced in August to an additional 19 years in prison, on top of the 11.5 years he was already serving.<\/p>\n

Allies expressed their deep concern about his transfer to a “special regime” colony, the harshest grade in Russia\u2019s prison system.<\/p>\n

Yarmysh said: “Let me remind you that the lawyers have not seen Alexei since December 6. Why they were not allowed to meet with him, if Alexei was still in IK-6, we do not know.”<\/p>\n

Navalny, admired by Russia\u2019s diverse opposition, voluntarily returned to Russia in 2021 from Germany, where he had received treatment for a nerve agent poisoning. The Kremlin denied any attempt to assassinate him, dismissing the claims without evidence.<\/p>\n

Despite being hailed by his supporters as a Russian counterpart to Nelson Mandela, destined to lead the nation once free, Navalny\u2019s movement has faced government crackdowns.<\/p>\n
