A Russian court has postponed jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's hearings until “his whereabouts are established,” his team said Monday. The announcement comes nearly two weeks after he first went missing in Russia's prison system, sparking alarm from his aides and supporters that his life may be in danger.
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."I am greatly concerned that the Russian authorities will not disclose Mr. Navalny's whereabouts and well-being for such a prolonged period of time which amounts to enforced disappearance," said Mariana Katzarova, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Russia.
