Students in Homel get extra day off in order they vote early

39

On December 10, rector of Homel State University Alyaksandr Rahchou held a meeting with students and teaching staff.

As the campaign “Human Rights Activists for Free Elections” reports, the university rector and a student of the faculty of mathematics addressed the audience. They shared their impressions of the Belarusian Congress, to which both had been delegated.

“The rector and the student virtually agitated for the proposed by the authorities programme of social and economic development of Belarus. Alyaksandr Rahazhou criticized the alternative presidential candidates, said they were giving empty promises they would never fulfill,” a student, who visited the meeting, said.

According to him, the rector called on the students to vote early and offered to cancel lectures on December 18 in order students could vote early. “It’s notable that some of the students were against the early voting even in spite of the promises of an extra day off. Chairman of the student trade union Syarhei Azyauchykau took the floor and said eh had spoken to students and they had not been against early voting and cancelling lectures. But I didn’t see much enthusiasm of students,” the student added.
