Russian notaries refuse powers of attorney for draft-age men
Original: Russian notaries start refusing to certify powers of attorney for draft-age men, human rights groups say
Human rights groups report that notaries in Russia have begun refusing to certify powers of attorney for men of mobilisation age. The practice could prevent men from granting legal authority to relatives to act on their behalf, including in matters related to leaving the country or managing affairs if they are drafted. Rights advocates say the refusals add to mounting legal obstacles facing draft-age men since the invasion of Ukraine.
Why now: Concern is growing over tightening restrictions on men of mobilisation age in Russia.
