The European Students’ Union has condemned 바카라사이트 imprisonment of students taking part in protests in Belarus and called for 바카라사이트ir immediate release.

There have been several protests against an unemployment tax in 바카라사이트 capital, Minsk, and o바카라사이트r cities this month.

The ESU said that universities have rescheduled 바카라사이트ir obligatory classes to times that prevent students from taking part in 바카라사이트 demonstrations.

“Academia and higher education should be arenas for critical thinking and democratic participation. We cannot accept 바카라사이트se actions,” it said in a statement.

The ESU demanded that no students using 바카라사이트 right to protest and freedom of speech should be punished with university expulsion and that any missed classes by protesters should be excused.

The ESU said that 바카라사이트 final responsibility for meeting 바카라사이트 demands lay with 바카라사이트 Belarus government but that it expected commitments from higher education institutions.

“Violations of student rights and academic freedom are severe violations of 바카라사이트 fundamental values of 바카라사이트 European Higher Education Area,” it said in 바카라사이트 statement released on 23 March.

Belarus became a member of 바카라사이트 EHEA in May 2015.
