Public Prosecutor to investigate the case of young YABLOKO’s activist expelled from the university

Press Release
December 17, 2009


Chairman of the YABLOKO party Sergei Mitrokhin demanded that Anton Zhebrun, young YABLOKO activist expelled from the Omsk University, should be allowed to resume his studies in the university. Such a claim was sent by Sergei Mitrokhin to Public Prosecutor of the Omsk Region and the head of the Education Control Agency.

YABLOKO connects expelling of the student with his public activities, as he is one of the leaders of the Omsk Youth YABLOKO.

Anton was expelled on a formal pretext of failing the study plan: he did not manage to pass five exams required for his transfer from the “sociology” to the “political science” curriculum in one day (appointed for him). The administration of the university made grave violations of the law here.

“The student was given only one day for passing exams in five subjects, and the university developed absolutely no curriculum for him. The order on expelling the student was signed post factum during quarantine of the flu. No explanations were taken from Zhebrun, and the term for bringing to responsibility expired on the moment of signing the order,” runs Mitrokhin’s letter.
