A Russian government advisory body created to protect “human rights and freedoms” has considered complaints from doctors about sending recovered soldiers back to the front without proper rehabilitation, the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported on Tuesday.

A member of the Council under the President of Ukraine on Civil Society and Human Rights, created to assist the President of Russia “in fulfilling his constitutional duties to guarantee and protect human rights and freedoms”, told RIA Novosti that there were cases when soldiers who did not fully recovered from their wounds, were sent back to the front to fight, CNN cites.

“We became aware of a situation where soldiers who received high-tech medical care with recommendations for rehabilitation and additional treatment were immediately sent to the front instead of rehabilitation,” council member Olga Demicheva said, RIA Novosti reports.

“As a result, the treatment they received just goes down the drain on Saturday, and instead of healthy people, we can get people with disabilities,” she said.

According to Demicheva, the council received two calls from employees of medical institutions in Donetsk and Moscow.

Work is already underway to solve this problem, RIA Novosti Demicheva reported.
