The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, today signed a law that will allow the mobilization of prisoners with an outstanding sentence for certain serious crimes. The document has already been published after receiving the approval of the Lower House and the Senate.
The law clarifies the crimes for which citizens who have a pending conviction cannot be called up. These are sexual abuse of minors, terrorist acts, hostage taking, organization of illegal armed groups and hijacking of air, water or rail transport.
Likewise, persons who have a pending conviction for illicit manipulation of nuclear materials and radioactive substances will not be subject to mobilization.
In addition, the law will not apply to crimes such as treason, espionage, usurpation of the life of a statesman, violent seizure of power, armed rebellion, public calls for extremist activities, incitement to hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation. of human dignity.
In turn, it will not be possible to mobilize citizens with pending convictions for attacking people or institutions that enjoy international protection.
318,000 Russian citizens mobilized
Putin has assured that the total number of mobilized Russian citizens amounts to 318,000, of which 49,000 are already in combat zones in Ukraine.
Nearly 20,000 more citizens have joined the ranks since the “partial mobilization” period ended last Friday, according to Putin.
The figure declared by the Russian president is lower than the 87,000 combat reservists confirmed just three days ago by Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
