MEP calls on Polish universities to hire Belarusian scientists

Marek Migalski appealed to the rectors of Polish state and private higher educational establishments.

He is asking to hire Ihar Kuzminich and other scientists, persecuted by the Belarusian authorities. In the appeal, the MEP notes that it is the moral obligation of the Poles and the Polish universities to support democratic changes in Belarus.

Professor of Hrodna University Ihar Kuzminich resigned as a sign of protest against illegal persecution of scientists for their civil views.

In became known on April 4 that professor of Hrodna University Vyachaslau Shved was sacked from the position of the head of the department of Belarusian culture and regional tourism. He said that he considered this a political decision, the revenge for his newly published book "Hrodna. The History of a European City". Co-author of the book Andrei Charnyakevich was sacked before.
