Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny is alive and being held in a penal colony in Siberia, according to his spokeswoman.
“We found Alexei Navalny,” Kira Yarmysh said on 25 December, adding that he was in a penal colony in northern Russia.
She said he had been moved to the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, in northern Russia.
He added that Mr Navalny’s move demonstrated how “the system deals with political prisoners, trying to isolate and suppress them”.
Mr Navalny made his name as a campaigner against corruption, gathering millions of views for his video investigations.
A charismatic campaigner, he seemed to be the only Russian opposition leader capable of mobilising people in large numbers across Russia to take part in anti-government protests.
