MOSCOW - Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny said on Wednesday that the forcible military conscription of one of his allies to a remote air base in the Arctic amounted to kidnapping and illegal imprisonment.
Navalny said Shaveddinov, who had earlier tried to appeal his conscription on medical grounds, had managed to make one phone call on Wednesday using someone else’s phone. “Serving in the army has simply turned into a way of locking people up,” Navalny wrote on social media. Valentina Melnikova, head of the Union of Soldiers’ Mothers’ Committees, told Reuters she had serious doubts about the way Shaveddinov had been treated.But Colonel Maxim Loktev, the deputy military commissar for Moscow, told the TASS news agency that Shaveddinov had dodged mandatory conscription for a long time and that a court on Monday had ruled his conscription legal.
