Information about holding "private" conversations with student activists has been received from three universities in Volyn to the monitoring committee "Student Chooses Freely." Moreover, the conversations were held with several people on the same day. The fact that this was someone's instruction from above is evidenced by the "vocabulary" - the same facts were used in the conversations, for example, conversations began with the phrase "You have been noticed in connections with 'Yushchenko' organizations... and took part in events that did not personally concern you - such as rallies, demonstrations." Moreover, one of the students, Andriy, was even told when and at which event he held a flag, when he distributed campaign materials, and when he was simply present. The fact that university representatives are beginning to tell students which events concern them and which do not is also surprising. The conversations ended with a standard phrase: "This was the last warning! If this happens again - we will expel you from the university!" \n In connection with such a development of events, activists of the "Student Chooses Freely!" initiative sent an appeal to the leadership of all universities in Volyn, in which they noted that "Students have always had the right to choose freely, only as the elections approached did they begin to strictly control us and constantly 'put' us in frames. We are conscious, and we always decide for ourselves which events are important to us and in which we can participate. Therefore, we appeal to the heads of educational institutions of Volyn with a request not to give in to the pressure being exerted on you from above and not to carry out the instructions you are being forced to follow." \n \nCoordinator of the "Student Chooses Freely" initiative \nin Volyn Oblast Olena Khalimon \n
