The Yekaterinburg garrison military court sentenced to 3 years probation Zarema Dzhioeva in the case of failure to appear for military service during the period of mobilization (part 3.1. Article 337 of the Criminal Code). This edition of It's My City was told in court.
The girl was also assigned 2 years of probation, during which she will not be able to change her place of residence without the permission of the commander of her military unit, and in case of dismissal — without notifying the Federal Penitentiary Service.
It is impossible not to get a subpoena. The State Duma adopted new rules for conscription
The card of the case indicates that the verdict was announced on March 30. The part of the article on which Dzhioeva was tried suggests that she did not appear for ten days to a month. According to It's My City, the girl did not return from her dismissal after the end of her vacation and decided to stay with her relatives. She herself did not tell the reasons for her act, using 51st article of the Constitution.
In the fall, articles on crimes against military service were supplemented with parts about their commission during the period of mobilization or hostilities. After that, they began to massively recruit soldiers who do not want to fight and flee from units or openly refuse to obey the order to be sent to Ukraine.
According to a study by Mediazona, after the announcement of mobilization, more than 700 cases were submitted to Russian courts against military refuseniks. Most often, they were charged with unauthorized abandonment of their place of service (Article 337 of the Criminal Code). To qualify the escape under the more serious article on desertion (338 of the Criminal Code), according to lawyers, the investigation needs to prove the intent of the military «generally cease to serve forever.» Many soldiers were given suspended sentences, which allows them to be sent back to the front.
