Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr. has disappeared from the Siberian prison where he was held.

Prominent Russian opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., who is currently serving a 25-year sentence for treason, has reportedly gone missing from the Siberian prison where he was incarcerated. Kara-Murza, 42, was being held in a prison located in the Omsk region, but a letter sent to him by activist and journalist Alexander Podrabinek was returned with a note stating that Kara-Murza was no longer there, as shared by Podrabinek on Facebook.

According to Vadim Prokhorov, a lawyer for Kara-Murza, another lawyer who attempted to visit the political activist and journalist on Monday was informed that he was not present in the prison, as reported by the Telegram news channel Agentstvo. This sudden disappearance has raised concerns among Kara-Murza's supporters, who fear for his safety.
