Concern for his safety had grown since the Russian-British national, convicted of treason after criticising the war in Ukraine, vanished from jail.

Russian prison transfers are shrouded in secrecy and can take weeks.

Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron demanded clarity on Mr Kara-Murza's whereabouts.

Initial inquiries addressed to the penal colony in Omsk where he was held received responses saying he was no longer there.
