Allies of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny say he’s been removed from the penal colony where he has been imprisoned since last year.
Ahead of his transfer to a special security colony on Monday, Navalny was supposed to appear in court via a video call. However, his spokeswoman said he never did.
His spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, voiced concern, saying that this was the sixth straight day Navalny’s aides don’t have any idea where he is or what is happening to him. She went on to say that prison officials blamed electrical problems for his disappearance.
“But the problem is that we have to look for him. It is not about our work. It is about his life and his health and about his, well, his security,” Yarmysh said. “So, the main thing for us is to find him as soon as possible, because right now he is completely alone and he is literally in the hands of people who once tried to kill him. So, we don’t know what they will do again.”
It’s unclear if Navalny is in transit to a new prison. However, the process of moving prisoners can take weeks.

The 45-year-old opposition leader is currently serving a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for violating parole while recovering from a poisoning attack last year. Navalny has accused the Russian government, particularly President Vladimir Putin, of orchestrating the attack.
Navalny’s imprisonment has been met with widespread international condemnation, with many calling for his release and raising concerns about his treatment while in detention. The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Russia must immediately release Navalny, stating that his life and health are at risk.
This latest development of Navalny’s disappearance only adds to the growing concerns for his well-being. His allies and supporters fear that he may be facing further harm or even danger while in the custody of Russian authorities.
Navalny’s case has become a symbol of the ongoing struggle for democracy and human rights in Russia. His vocal opposition to Putin and his government’s policies has made him a popular figure among anti-Kremlin activists and protesters.
Despite facing imprisonment, Navalny has continued to speak out against the government. He has used social media platforms to share his thoughts and opinions, reaching a wide audience both within Russia and internationally.
Navalny’s imprisonment and the subsequent events surrounding his disappearance highlight the challenges faced by those who dare to criticize the Russian government. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers and risks that individuals like Navalny undertake in their fight for democracy and freedom.
The international community must continue to support Navalny and put pressure on the Russian government to ensure his safety and well-being. His case should serve as a rallying point for the defense of human rights and the pursuit of justice.
As the search for Navalny continues, the world watches, hoping for his safe return and the protection of his rights. The fate of one man has become a symbol of a much larger struggle, reminding us all of the importance of standing up for what is right and just.
In the face of adversity, Alexei Navalny remains a beacon of hope for many and a reminder that the fight for democracy and human rights is far from over.
