Some Russians detained while protesting against President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilisation have been handed draft papers while in custody, the OVD-Info rights group said on Thursday.
Since Putin on Wednesday announced the first large-scale mobilisation in Russia since World War Two, flights to leave the country have sold out and protests have been held - and swiftly broken up by police - in cities across Russia.
"Information was received from 15 police departments that the detained men were handed a summons to the military registration and enlistment office," OVD-Info said in a statement.
