TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Allies of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny said his lawyer was told in court that he had been moved from the penal colony east of Moscow where he has been serving time but was not told where he was taken. The disclosure that Navalny was moved out of Penal Colony No. 6, in the town of Melekhovo in the Vladimir region, came Friday at a hearing on a lawsuit he had filed against officials at the maximum security facility. The hearing was adjourned after that. The whereabouts of Navalny, 47, have been unknown since his lawyers lost touch with him after Dec. 6.
