MOSCOW (Reuters) -Two court hearings for jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny that were due to take place on Monday have been postponed until January, court filings showed. Navalny's allies, who had been preparing for his expected transfer to a "special regime" colony, the harshest grade in Russia's prison system, say he has not been seen by his lawyers since Dec. 6 and have raised the alarm about his whereabouts. Russia's prison service on Friday said Navalny was being moved to a new prison in another part of the country.
A United Nations rights expert said Monday that the "enforced disappearance" of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was alarming, demanding that Moscow immediately release him.
Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny failed to appear at another court hearing on Monday, further raising concerns about his well-being 10 days after his team lost contact with him.
