09:53: But where is Navalny?
Supporters of Alexei Navalny, who was jailed in 2021 after surviving an assassination attempt by poisoning, have been sounding the alarm since earlier this month, when he was last seen. His lawyers have not been able to meet him since December 6 and he did not appear at the hearing scheduled for last Friday.

The Russian opponent would have been taken from his prison to an unknown destination, his supporters said on Friday, a move that could mean his transfer to a penitentiary with harsher conditions. According to Kira Iarmich, the exiled spokesperson for the anti-corruption activist, a court informed the opponent’s lawyer that Mr. Navalny had “left the Vladimir region”, about 250km east of Moscow, where he had until then been incarcerated. “We don’t know to which destination exactly,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter), specifying that this transfer would have taken place on December 11.
