Opposition activist is expelled from college again
While Maladechna resident Pavel Siarhei was serving
his arrest for participation in the peaceful street action of 19 December 2011, a letter about his
expulsion from Maladechna
State Polytechnic
College because of
“truancy” was sent to his home.
It is already the second attempt of the college administration to get rid of
the student. The first took place when Pavel was detained for throwing eggs at
the monument to Lenin in Minsk
on 7 November, during a communist rally. Many foreign media wrote about it.
Pavel thinks that this was the reason why the college administration decided to
let him continue his studies at that time.
As it is stated in the letter, Pavel was absent from classes on 16 December.
However, he states that he attended the classes that today, as well as during
the days preceding his arrest, and nobody had any pretensions to him.
