The spokesman for the Russian Federal Prison Service, Alexei Melnikov, announced on Sunday that the Russian opposition Alexei Navalny will be transferred to the Central Prison in the Russian city of Vladimir, after the end of the quarantine period to which he is subjected.
Melnikov said, in exclusive statements to the Russian "Sputnik" agency: "According to the existing system and provisions, the convict must be subject to quarantine before being transferred to the central prison in Vladimir, and he will need to pass the necessary tests and submit to doctors, after which he is placed in a room and given a special number."
On February 2, 2021, the Simonovsky Court in Moscow sentenced Navalny to 3 and a half years in prison for violating the terms of his previous sentence issued in 2014, from which the months he spent under house arrest in that year will be removed.
Russian authorities arrested Navalny last month upon his return to Russia after trying to poison him last year.
Navalny, 44, accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of giving orders to poison him, but the Kremlin denies this.
