Academy of Arts
More than 60 employees of the Academy of Arts, including Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Alena Bokhan, urged the administration to reinstate the students removed from the Academy on political grounds. Earlier, Ms Bokhan refused to sign the expulsion order.
“We, teachers and staff of the Belarusian State Academy of Arts, call for putting an end to the persecution of students and employees who express their civic position, to lift the expulsion, and stop debarring peaceful assemblies.
We show our solidarity with the students, teachers and staff of the Belarusian State Academy of Arts whose civil and political freedoms have been violated,” the appeal reads.
