Shcharansky moved to grim Vladimir Prison in Russia
Soviet authorities transferred dissident Anatoly Shcharansky from Lefortovo to Vladimir Prison, an 18th century facility criticized by rights groups for beatings and squalid conditions. The 30 year old computer scientist and activist was convicted of spying for the CIA and faces up to 13 years, with initial years in close confinement. The move fuels Western protests while authorities cite routine transfers.
