After an exhaustive, frantic search of Russia’s prison system after his Dec. 5 disappearance, Mr. Navalny’s exiled aides said on Wednesday that they had located him in a penal colony in the Yamalo-Nenets region of the Russian Arctic. Ivan Zhdanov, the head of Mr. Navalny’s anticorruption foundation, described the facility as one of Russia’s “most northern and most remote” prisons.
Aleksei Navalny is being held in a prison known as IK-3, which is a penal colony in Kharp and's 1000 miles (1609 kilometers) from where he was before.
I can only imagine the horrible conditions there. Russia’s prison system is beyond cruel, especially for political prisoners like Navalny.
