Security forces took migrants from a mosque in Kotelniki to send them to the war with Ukraine

The day before, in Kotelniki near Moscow, riot police took migrants straight from the mosque to a military training center. There, all their documents were taken away and they were sent for a medical examination.

Muslim migrants are required to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense in order to send them to the “SVO”. Lawyers were not allowed to see the detainees. An audio recording also appeared in which one of the security forces makes a speech during the raid: “Who arrived yesterday? Hands raised. All movements are made through the control room, understand? After all the construction. We sign up with the duty officer and head to headquarters. Who needs a medical examination, hu..ya, hall..ya. It's clear? We arrive from headquarters, check in with the duty officer and go to classes. Our classes take place before lunch and two hours after lunch. Have you learned the daily routine? Learn the daily routine for everyone. Mandatory constructions. With personnel verification. At 13:00 you must all be here on the parade ground. It's clear?".

Recently, security forces have repeatedly broken into mosques in the cities of Kotelniki and Dzerzhinsky wearing shoes. This happened during prayer. Those who came behaved rudely and insulted the parishioners.
