Amnesty: Russian recruiters kidnap foreign job seekers, force them into military service

Amnesty International reports a documented escalation in Russia's coercive recruitment tactics, expanding beyond domestic prisoners to include kidnapping foreign job seekers and coercing Latin American prisoners into military service in Ukraine. These practices, characterized as human trafficking, involve fraud, deception, and exploitation of economic vulnerability. The claims are partially confirmed by Amnesty's investigations, with limited independent corroboration.
