Robbery and murder: in the Russian Federation they want to legally mobilize convicted for serious crimes - BBC

According to human rights activists, Russian military enlistment offices are actively violating legislation. They propose to sign contracts and mobilize people with outstanding convictions. Already on October 18, the State Duma of the Russian Federation will allow mobilization to the war with Ukraine citizens convicted of serious crimes. About it writes the BBC. It is reported that the law is banned from the army.

However, according to Russian human rights activists, the legislation is actively violated by military enlistment offices. The initiative was proposed by the chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andriy Kartpolov and the first deputy chairman of the committee Andriy Krasov. In the legislation of the Russian Federation, serious crimes are which can be obtained for more than five years of imprisonment (robbery, murder, robbery, sale and storage of drugs).

Journalists write that hundreds of thousands of people with criminal record are banned from mobilization. However, after the ban is removed, they will be able to legally mobilize. At the same time, as the Russian lawyer told journalists under the conditions of anonymity, in the Russian Federation there are mass cases where such people are mobilized illegally. Some are forced to sign contracts, although the law of the Russian Federation prohibits it.

Earlier, Focus reported that Russia and Iran had united to confront the West. Iran writes that Iran positions himself as a defender of outsiders in the international arena. It helps Russia because Ukraine is much more popular than it. We will also remind that Arestovich said that there will be a new wave of mobilization in Ukraine. According to the advisor to the VP, Russia has found new ways to aggravate the lives of Ukrainians. Therefore, Kyiv asks the event to increase the supply of weapons.
