“There are cases of death among those mobilized” - head of the Anti-Corruption Committee of the Russian Federation
During partial mobilization, violations were identified during the medical examination and assessment of the condition of conscripts. Often this factor may be absent altogether when people, without inquiring about their health, are simply put on buses and sent to a unit.
The head of the Russian National Anti-Corruption Committee, Kirill Kabanov, stated this at a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Until now, we draw attention to the Commissioner for Human Rights that the criteria are very loose, which creates conditions for various abuses and creates conditions for misunderstanding. Misunderstandings are the main issue. Yesterday, by the way, there was a statement from a representative of the Defense Committee that information needs to be presented objectively and that it must be communicated constantly, and the truth. To tell the truth. Because people do it all themselves, they transmit it on networks.
It was thanks to the commissioners that we, for example, learned that there is absolutely no procedure for medical examination and assessment of the health of conscripts. They just gather people and put them on buses. Nobody evaluates what condition you have been in for twenty years, how you last put on your cap, what condition you are in now,” the official noted.
“Our colleague at the Human Rights Council, Commissioner for Human Rights in Yekaterinburg Tatyana Merzlyakova, identified several cases of deaths, natural deaths, which the Ministry of Defense tried to hide. Therefore, now we will seek a mandatory medical examination procedure.
You know that we now have an application procedure. If you want to be sent for a medical examination, you have evidence for this, you make a statement at the military registration and enlistment office. What do I need to be referred for a medical examination.
Yes, often people cannot collect all the certificates for this, and they are told: “Listen, we refuse, there are no certificates.” When relatives bring certificates, they are told: “He has already left for the unit, go to the unit.” And this whole story begins,” said Kabanov.
