Mobilization and lines on the southern borders of Russia; protest actions in Southern Russia against mobilization; verdict of guilty pronounced by the jury in a case against Rauf and Raul Arashukov, – see the review of these and other events in the Caucasus during the week of September 19-25, 2022, prepared by the “Caucasian Knot”.

A total of 101 persons were detained at a protest against mobilization in Makhachkala, the human rights project "OVD-Info"* has reported on its website.

At their protest in Nalchik, women from the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR) demanded from authorities not to mobilize their relatives.

The males of the conscription age who are subject to mobilization can freely move around the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), but they can't leave its borders, even if they have not yet received a summons, the republic's military commissariat has explained.

At least 11 people have been detained at a protest action against mobilization held in Volgograd; some of them have already been released. The organizers had twice changed the venue because of the large concentration of law enforcers in the places where the activists' gathering had been planned.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has stated that mobilization dodgers who line up at airports aiming to leave Russia are lazy guys and parasites. In his opinion, they are of no use for the country.

Several letters were not delivered to Zarema Musaeva to the SIZO (pre-trial prison), although they were censored and accepted, her son Abubakar Yangulbaev has stated.

Khalid Azmatgiriev, a native of Chechnya, who is serving hissentence in a penal colony in Mordovia, inflicted more than 20 cuts on his stomach with a razor right in the courtroom in protest against the judge's biased attitude to him, in his opinion.

Ramzan Kadyrov's call to kill Akhmed Zakaev was caused by the latter's activeness in Ukraine, but it is the constant attention of the head of Chechnya that adds to Zakaev's popularity, Alexei Malashenko and Sergey Zhavoronkov have pointed out. Kadyrov calls for violent actions, but there is no chance that he will be held accountable for this under the law, Evgeny Chernousov has noted.

Today, a rally in support of referendums on joining Russia in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson Regions has been held in Grozny.

The leader of Chechnya has called those who do not want to go to Ukraine as part of the mobilization “cowards, traitors, and second-class people.”

Among the volunteers who went to Ukraine, there are many natives of Dagestan, social media users note. They believe that it is worth making participation in the special military operation for residents of Dagestan only on voluntary basis.
