Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny located in Siberian penal colony, spokeswoman says

Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny has been located in a remote penal colony in Siberia, his spokeswoman said Monday.

Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny has been located in a remote penal colony in Siberia after his lawyers and associates have been unable to contact him for nearly three weeks, Navalny's spokeswoman said Monday.

Navalny was located in IK-3 in the village of Kharp in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug part of Russia, which is in Siberia, the spokeswoman, Kyra Yarmysh, said Monday.

"The lawyer saw him today. Alexei is fine," Yarmysh wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Navalny was previously being held in Correctional Facility No. 6 in the Vladimir region, about 100 miles east of Moscow.
