MOSCOW — Lawyers of jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny say they have not been able to confirm his whereabouts for nearly a week, raising concern among his allies for his health and safety.
Navalny failed to appear at two recent court hearings by video feed due to a supposed "power outage" at the prison colony. The opposition leader's lawyers now say prison authorities claim that Navalny is no longer listed among the inmates there.
