Alexei Navalny, the jailed Russian opposition leader, has been taken from a prison near Moscow to an undisclosed location, according to his spokeswoman. Navalny's supporters have expressed concern since he was last seen earlier this month. His spokeswoman stated that he was removed from the Vladimir region on December 11, indicating a potential prison transfer. The exact location is unknown, and lawyers have not been allowed to meet with him since December 6. Navalny is serving a 19-year sentence on extremism charges, and the US has expressed concern over his lack of access to legal representation.
