1/ Mobilisation news: The Russian Telegram channel "Watch out for the news" (ON) reports that released convicts in Moscow are being told to come to offices of the Federal Penitentiary Service on various pretexts and handed mobilisation notices, even if they're not eligible.

2/ "One of them, a category B inmate with an unexpunged criminal record for a particularly serious crime, was invited to the inspectorate under the pretext of a lecture by a psychologist. On the spot he was handed a summons directly to a collection point in the Museum of Moscow.

3/ If he refused to collect it, they threatened to call in operatives from the criminal investigation department.

4/ Another man, diagnosed as HIV-positive (who cannot be called up by law) and registered with the Federal Penitentiary Service, was summoned to the inspectorate by phone call, without any announcement of any events.

5/ He also received a summons to come to the military registration and enlistment office in the Kuzminki district on Monday with his belongings."

6/ ON also reports that a Moscow doctor with 5 dependent children aged from 10 months to 10 years signed a contract to treat wounded men in Voronezh, but ended up being sent to fight with tank troops in Ukraine.

7/ "On 9 September, he was already in the Nizhny Novgorod region, and on 24 September he told his wife Natalya that he was going to the Rostov region to pick up the wounded. After that, her husband disappeared.

8/ On 1 October, on the hotline of the Ministry of Defense, Natalya was told that Aleksey was in Ukraine - he was participating in the Special Military Operation as part of tank troops."

9/ Due to the mobilisation, people with medical qualifications reportedly aren't being allowed to leave the country. A group of doctors attempted to fly out on holiday via St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport but was blocked by officials. One doctor's wife wrote on social media:

10/ "They say they need a certificate from the military enlistment office to leave, but there is no guarantee they won't get a summons with their signature when they request this certificate.

11/ Let the doctors rest and go to work with renewed vigour, don't fuck around, you have to impose a bunch of bans, aggravating the mood of already frightened people even worse!"

12/ According to her, the border guards also stopped female doctors with children, though at least they were offered a certificate from the military enlistment office.

13/ More mobilisation raids have taken place in Moscow, according to ON. It reports that a hostel for construction workers in Myakinino was raided by police at 06:00 on 12 October. All the men were taken from there and sent to the Kuntsevo military enlistment office.

14/ Another raid took place at the same time at the Olympus hostel, which is also used by construction workers. Eyewitnesses say the police detained 40 men aged 18 to 55, held them in a cinema, gave some of them uniforms and are planning to send them to a unit in Naro-Fominsk.

15/ The police have also started raiding apartment blocks. At a Moscow housing estate, police reportedly stood "at the entrances with a stack of summonses and handing them out to all the men coming out."

16/ "At the same time some of the policemen went door to door - officers let people go only after checking their documents. But those who fit the mobilisation categories are loaded into a police vehicle."
