Forced mobilization of men was reported in Penza region

ASTRA subscribers sent a video allegedly shot on the night of June 16-17 in Kamenka, Penza region, near the military enlistment office at Warehouse 19.

It is being widely distributed through local chat rooms in Max. In the footage, several men are sitting in a minibus, and the gathered women are trying to prevent the staff from taking them away.

— Guys, tell me, did everyone voluntarily sign a contract? “Were you forced, tell me?”

Subscribers claim that employees of military enlistment offices drive black minibuses at night and check people near alcohol markets in order to “take drunks who can easily be forced to sign something.” On June 18, the Russian Guard announced a raid to identify military registration violators. The police randomly stopped cars and thus checked 80 people. Nine of them were allegedly only served with summonses, the department reported.
