Naama Issachar, the Israeli jailed in Russia on drug charges, has been moved from a prison far from Moscow without her lawyer or family being informed.
The move occurred last Friday, but her new location was only confirmed on Monday night, following heavy pressure from the Israeli consulate in Moscow.
The 27-year-old is serving a 7.5-year sentence after she was detained in April at Moscow airport en route to Israel from India with 9.5 grams of marijuana in her luggage.
