Alexei Navalny, a prominent Kremlin critic, has been located in a prison colony in northern Russia after being missing for almost three weeks. His spokesperson announced that he is in a remote prison in the Arctic region, where conditions are harsh and it is difficult to communicate with the outside world. Navalny's location and well-being had been unknown, raising concerns about his safety. His disappearance is seen as an example of the system's treatment of political prisoners, and it is linked to the upcoming 2024 presidential elections in Russia. Navalny was jailed in 2021 after surviving a poisoning attack, and his activism has led to his imprisonment and the banning of his political groups as "extremist" organizations.
