Lawyers assessed the legality of the refusal to send Ziyavudin Ashikov to the Special Military District.
The law does not require contracts to be signed with all prisoners who express a desire to be sent to a military operation zone. In Dagestan, selectively granting such an opportunity could be corrupt, lawyers emphasized, commenting on reports of numerous refusals to send Ziyavudin Ashikov, former acting head of the Kaspiysk police department, to the SVO zone.
