Even the relatives of the politician or his lawyer were not informed about the move. Officially, they only said that his sentence in the case of alleged fraud took effect.
Russia’s opposition leader Alexei Navalny was transferred to a strict colony of the regime after the sentence in the case of alleged fraud took effect. This was reported by the Russian edition of Kommersant, referring to the words of Navalny’s press secretary Kira Yarmysh on Twitter.
“Today, Navalny’s lawyer in the colony in Pokrov was told that Navalny was no longer held there, he was transferred to a strict colony of the regime, but we were not told which one. This is due to the fact that the verdict on new Our client’s criminal case has already begun, ” – wrote Kira Yarmysh.
Alexei Navalny was taken from IK-2.
The lawyer who went to see him was kept at the checkpoint until 2 pm, after which they said: “There is no such convict.”
We don’t know where Aleksey is now and to which colony he is being taken.– Kira Yarmysh (@Kira_Yarmysh) June 14, 2022
According to him, the defense will visit Navalny at a new place of serving his sentence once they find out where he is. Yarmysh suggested that Navalny be taken to the strict colony of the IK-6 Melehovo regime. According to him, neither lawyers nor Navalny’s relatives were informed about the move.
Recall, Moscow’s Lefortovo Court on March 22 sentenced Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to nine years in a strict regime colony.
Navalny was arrested on January 17, 2021, when he returned to Moscow from Germany, where he was undergoing treatment and rehabilitation after being poisoned.
In February of the same year, a Russian court changed the suspended sentence policy in Yves Rocher’s case to real and sent the opposition to a penal colony for nearly three years.
