sparkmannRussian authorities confirmed on Monday that an Israeli-American woman imprisoned in Moscow on drug charges was moved to a prison far from the city without her family or lawyer having been notified.
Though Naama Issachar, 26, was moved on Friday, her family was only notified on Monday after the Israeli consulate in Moscow pressured Russian authorities to confirm her new location.
Issachar’s family said on Tuesday that she was not allowed to take any personal items with her, including any warm clothing, and that she is also unable to receive mail or visitors other than her lawyer, who is appealing against the relocation.
During a hearing last week in Moscow, Issachar said she had been forced to sign documents in Russian without understanding what they said, and that there were no interpreters present when she signed her confession.
