Russian activist ‘kidnapped’
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has condemned the forcible conscription of one of his allies to serve at a military base in the Arctic.
Ruslan Shaveddinov was seized at his home in Moscow on Monday and flown 2,000km (1,240 miles) to the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago.
Mr Navalny accused the authorities of kidnapping the activist who, he said, was exempt from military service.
