Anti-Kremlin opposition leader Alexei Navalny has reportedly been sent to a Russian penal colony outside of Moscow to serve out his prison sentence, a public commission said Sunday.
It was uncertain where Navalny was located since Thursday, until it was learned that he was brought one of Moscow’s most infamous jails, Reuters reports.
Navalny was arrested after returning to Russia from Germany reportedly for violating his parole.
He has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison, and was recently transferred to a penal colony in the Vladimir region, according to the Moscow Public Monitoring Commission. The location is in the town of Pokrov, about 100 km (60 miles) east of Moscow, according to state news agency TASS.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
