Occupants want to fill police with schoolchildren after shortened courses

In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers are facing a shortage of personnel in the local police. To make up for the shortage, they are actively agitating schoolchildren to join the ranks of law enforcement.

According to the National Resistance Center, Russian propaganda calls on students to take shortened training courses after graduation and start serving in entry-level positions in the police after reaching the age of 18.

The occupiers are also simplifying the requirements for candidates. In particular, the Donetsk branch of the so-called "Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" is ready to accept applicants without entrance exams so that they can quickly receive the rank of "officer" in the repressive system.

The National Resistance Center noted that in Russia, social progress is possible only if one serves the authorities, but such a "career" is usually short-lived and carries significant risks to health and life.

In the first 10 months of this year, the occupiers detained 28 local residents in Crimea under the articles "espionage" and "high treason". Persecution under these articles intensified after the full-scale invasion. In October, women were persecuted more often.

On November 7, Intent wrote that the Kyiv District Court of Simferopol, created by Russia, arrested lawyer and human rights activist Rustem Kiamilev for ten days.

Two administrative protocols were drawn up against lawyer Rustem Kiamilev for two publications on his Facebook page. The first protocol for propaganda or demonstration of prohibited symbols was drawn up against Rustem Kamilev because of a repost from the page ofthe Crimean Solidarity.

Also, the occupation administrations of the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions recruit informants among the local unemployed.
