In Dagestan, locals fight police on day two of mass protests against mobilization
Extremely heated mass protests against mobilization continue in Dagestan. The capital city of Makhachkala and another city, Khasavyurt, are now in the second day of protesting the draft imposed on the region by Russian federal authorities, under last week’s presidential decree.
Today, several thousand people took to the streets in Makhachkala, and fighting erupted between protesters and the police. Around 70 people have already been arrested, as reported by Kavkaz Realii.
The same source reported that yesterday, Sept. 25, around 120 protesters were arrested by the Makhachkala police. Those taken to police stations were beaten and tortured with electric tasers. Eight people are now being prosecuted for allegedly “attacking” the police.
