People in Russia’s Dagestan region have clashed with police in the latest protests against Moscow’s call-up of 300,000 military reservists.
Over 100 people were arrested during protests in the regional capital Makhachkala, OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights monitor said.
It said it was concerned by reports of the province’s “very tough detentions”.
Dagestan is a mainly Muslim region of Russia with a higher death toll than any other province in the war.
Recent analysis by the BBC’s Russian service showed that at least 301 soldiers from Dagestan have died, 10 times more than in Moscow. The true figure is likely to be far higher.
More than 2,000 people have been arrested at mass protests since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilisation of military reservists on Wednesday.
