Czech citizens receivе mails about mobilization and calls to take up arms, allegedly signed by former NATO General Petr Pavel, now running for the Czech presidency

This was reported in the Czech edition of iDNES.

The police are fighting the spread of the messages and urge people who have received them to contact the police.  

"I ask you to come to the nearest AСR office, where you will be provided with the necessary armored vehicles for mobilization to Ukraine," reads the message received by Czech citizens.

Pavel assures that he is not surprised by the spread of "lies that Babiš (opposition presidential candidate - ed.) has posted on billboards."  

The billboards, which are part of presidential candidate Andrej Babiš's campaign, state that Babiš will not drag the Czech Republic into war because he is not a military man, thus alluding to Pavel's past affiliation with NATO. 

Police urge anyone who has received a similar or identical message to contact [email protected].
