Vinatier, who works for a Swiss conflict mediation NGO, was arrested last summer when tensions with France and other Western countries shot over Ukraine. According to a message from his family to the AFP, Vinatier’s lawyer informed them that he was transferred from Moscow to Tula, around 200 kilometers from the capital, a criminal traffic colony.

It is meean to spend 15 days of quarantine in prison. His family does not know where he will be transferred after that. Prison transfers in Russia’s huge penitentiary system can take weeks, and family members often do not know the people of a convict.

Vinatier, who speaks Russian, is a veteran researcher in Russia and postsoviet countries. Russia accused him of violating his law of “foreign agent”, which has counts of the Stalin era and has generally been reserved for Russian citizens.

When he lost his appeal in February, Vinatier said in court that his work always tried to “present Russia’s interests in international relations.”

France has demanded the release of Vinatier, condemning the sentence as “arbitrary”, with President Emmanuel Macron repeatedly asking Russia to release the researcher.
