Student - Truth Seeker Expelled From Minsk College

Mikalai Lohvinau was expelled from the Minsk State Polytechnical College for his civil position.

BPF youth activist Mikalai Lohvinau was expelled from the Minsk State Polytechnic College, Viasna writes. The order with numerous violations was signed by Acting Director of the College V. Bunevich. This was reported in Twitter by the group Association of Belarusian Students on July 11.

Thus, Mikalai Lohvinau joined the list of activists who were repressed by the educational institution leadership and were expelled for participating in the March protest rallies.

Mikalai Lohvinau was detained by police officers along with Mikita Krasnokutski in Minsk on March 14. Protocols for the administrative offense were drawn up against the BPF youth activists under Art. 23.34 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – "violation of the procedure of organizing and holding mass events", and taken to the court of Pershamaiski district of Minsk. Judge Anastasiya Papko punished Lohvinau with a fine of 5 basic units.

We remind you that there is a petition on the change.org site "Help Belarusian Students To Re-Register In Universities," calling for re-registering of students, who were expelled for social and political activity, in Belarusian universities. The latest expels are related to the participation of students in protest rallies, which swept across Belarus in February and March 2017.
