Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been located at a penal colony in northern Siberia, two weeks after his supporters lost contact with him when he disappeared from a prison camp outside Moscow. A spokesperson for Navalny says he resurfaced Monday at the IK-3 penal colony, nicknamed “Polar Wolf,” in the town of Kharp in the Arctic Circle.
Kira Yarmysh: “We know for sure that in this new colony his conditions would be even worse than they were before. But the thing is that this colony is very distant. It is very difficult to access it. And for lawyers, it will be very difficult to go there and to see Alexei.”
