“Most of the men of our enterprise … received subpoenas. A summons were also sent to citizens of friendly states. These people for participating in their threat of imprisonment in their country,” Parakhin said, urging law enforcement agencies to intervene in the situation.
The citizens of Uzbekistan who received the summons recorded a video message in which they asked for help from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The regional military registration and enlistment office refused to comment on this situation.
