Alexei Navalny's Mysterious Transfer Raises Concerns

The Kremlin claims to have "no information" on the whereabouts of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, who was moved from a penal colony and has not been seen by his lawyers since December 6. Navalny, a prominent critic of President Vladimir Putin, was sentenced to an additional 19 years in prison in August. His allies fear he has been transferred to a high-security facility, and rights groups have raised concerns about his well-being. The United Nations Human Rights Committee has been asked to help locate Navalny, while France and the European Union have called for his release.
