Russian authorities have begun the process of moving Nadezhda Tolokonnikova to an undisclosed location in Siberia in what supporters claim was a reaction to her hunger strikes and open letters about the prison conditions and the slave-like labor of prisoners.

Tolokonnikova’s friends and family, who have been trying to track her location during the transfer, said they believe Tolokno, as she is nicknamed, now is being transferred across Siberia with a special squad of the Federal Service for Execution and Punishment, a group that usually accompanies terrorists and leaders of organized criminal groups. Her transfer started approximately 17 days ago, but her exact destination is unknown. The governmental agency has not shared its plans, but promises to let the relatives know all the details once she arrives.

According to her friends following her since she left the prison in Morovia, they believe she spent some time in Saransk's pretrial detention facility and then was held in a retransmission center in Tyumen. No one is sure about her whereabouts after that.

It is possible that Tolokonnikova will be brought to the penal colony located in the taiga village of Nizhniy Ingash, which is about 300 km (186 miles) from Krasnoyarsk, they said. This is a special colony for those who have been sentenced for the first time. There is a confectionary workplace, a sewing classroom and a carton department, and a garden where the prisoners plant beets, zucchini and potatoes.
