In Moscow, Rosgvardia officers detained a reservist and tried to recruit him for the war — Artem Klyga

Lawyer Artem Klyga of the “Conscientious Objectors Movement” reported that he had received an appeal from a Moscow resident in the reserves who had been detained by Rosgvardia officers.

The detention allegedly took place on the basis of an alert and for a document check. The officers asked whether the man knew that mobilization was taking place in the country, and also asked about his experience of military service,

the lawyer wrote.

According to him, this is the first such report received by human rights defenders.

Klyga said that Rosgvardia officers have software on their tablets that allows them to obtain information about a citizen’s military registration status using passport data. He suggested that this is mobile access to the electronic military registration database.

“In our case, the man was helped by a call from an HR employee at his workplace. After that, the Rosgvardia officers returned his passport and let him go,” the lawyer wrote.
