TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Allies of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny are sounding the alarm and saying that neither they nor his lawyers have heard from him in six days. Navalny is serving a 19-year prison term on the charges of extremism. He was due to appear in court Monday via video link but didn’t. His spokeswoman says prison officials cited electricity problems. The spokeswoman says the developments are concerning given that Navalny recently fell ill after months of being held in isolation. Navalny is President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest foe. He has rejected all charges against him as politically motivated.
