Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has been transferred to a strict-regime penal colony, his allies said on Tuesday, expressing concern about his safety.
Alexei Navalny, Russia's most prominent opposition leader, has been abruptly moved from the prison where he was serving an 11-1/2 year sentence to a high-security penal colony farther from Moscow.
"Where Alexei is now, and which colony he is being taken to, we don't know," Mr Volkov said on the Telegram app. Just last month, he lambasted Mr Putin via video link in a Russian court, casting him as a madman who had started a "stupid war" that was butchering the innocent people of both Ukraine and Russia.Plane carrying ill Putin critic arrives in Germany, Alexei Navalny in 'stable' condition
