Putin’s number one critic ‘disappears’ from prison colony

Is Putin settling old riffs? is he channeling his inner Joe Stalin?

Alexey Navalny's allies aren't sure where he is, and are concerned for his safety.
The Putin critic was abruptly moved from the prison where he was serving time.


Navalny's lawyer said he was moved to a maximum security prison, but it's not clear which one.
Allies of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny don't know where he is after Russian authorities moved him from the penal colony where he was serving time.

"Navalny was transported away from the penal colony No. 2. His lawyer, who came to see him, was kept at the checkpoint until 14.00, and was then told: 'There is no such convict here.' We do not know where Alexei is now and what colony they are taking him to," Kira Yarmysh, Navalny's spokesperson, said via Twitter on Tuesday.

Yarmysh said that Navalny's attorneys and his relatives were not informed about his transfer in advance. She went on to say that there were "rumors" Navalny was to be transferred to the high-security penal colony IK-6 in Melekhovo, but added it's "impossible to know when (and if) he will actually arrive there."

The primary concern with Navalny's transfer to another prison is not just that "the high-security colony is much scarier," Yarmysh said, but that as long as his whereabouts are unknown then the Kremlin critic "remains one-on-one with the system that has already tried to kill him."

Putin needs a crash course from the Clinton's into how to blamelessly deal with enemies!

It seems to have been a government staple to off ones enemies for as far back as I can remember. I wonder what other countries were saying behind closed doors when JFK was offed? And I also wonder why Putin never picks a scapegoat to take the blame. Hmm....

Pfft.

Biden has been doing this since Jan 6.

So he's pulling a Clinton?

That's more than we know about our own political prisoners that was captured on January 6th. Now they are in in our own DC gulags.

Typical ATS - this thread will be full of American Putin supporters... ‘but but what about the democrats?’ 😭

Actually you're partially right. We should be focusing on our country, not Russia. Of course things happens in other countries just like this that we don't discuss, it's just politically expedient to focus on Russia. At least, for now. You've been drawn into the mass psychosis.

There's a big difference between people who entered the capital building during a riot and journalists being jailed simply for being a critic of the current administration.

What journalists or critics has Biden given jail time?

If you want to angle it more towards the u.s. government looking the other way when it's allies (such as saudi arabia or israel for example) then you might have some point.

However, that applies to Trump and Biden's administration. Not really a POTUS-specific thing.

Anyway, i hope the Russian people can fine a way to take free speech back and free Navalny.

They’re all as bad as each other, the terms world leader and dictator are interchangeable in the modern world.

Navalny is transferred to maximum-security prison in Vladimir Region

14 JUN, 20:00

Blogger Alexey Navalny has been transferred from a standard-security prison in Pokrov to a maximum-security prison in Melekhovo in the Vladimir Region, Sergey Yazhan, chairman of the regional public oversight commission, told TASS on Tuesday.

On June 14, Alexey Navalny's lawyers told TASS that the blogger had been transferred from a prison in Pokrov, Vladimir Region, to a maximum-security prison after the verdict in his fraud case came into force. "He arrived at IK-6 and is there," Yazhan said, referring to the prison by its name.

Lyudmila Romanova, the commissioner for human rights in the Vladimir Region, told TASS on Tuesday that the prison has a good reputation.
