Widespread reports emerge of a forced military recruitment program in Russian penal colonies. Desperate convicts said to be trying to contract HIV
[Twitter thread] Widespread reports are emerging of a programme of forced military recruitment in Russian penal colonies, with prisoners being evaluated for their fitness to be drafted into 'Storm Z' assault units. Desperate convicts are said to be trying to contract HIV to avoid the draft.

The Russian prisoners' rights group http://Gulagu.net has been reporting for several weeks on indications that a mass mobilisation of convicts is planned, or already underway. Unlike Wagner's voluntary prisoner recruitment, this appears to be intended to be forcible.
