Representatives of the Volyn branch of the “Our Ukraine” Youth Coalition are concerned by a number of facts and reports concerning the illegal activity of administrations of educational institutions in the region, which manifests itself in involving students in political work in candidates' headquarters, demands to attend or not attend certain election campaign events, the use of psychological and administrative levers of influence to support or not support one or another candidate, outright intimidation of students, teachers, and staff, and coercion to participate in political actions for the “single candidate from the authorities.” \n Thus, on September 7 in the city of Lutsk, a press conference was held for local media, in which the head of the Volyn regional organization of the Ukrainian People's Youth, Olena Khalimon, the coordinator of the Volyn branch of the “Our Ukraine” Youth Coalition, the head of the Volyn organization “Youth Nationalist Congress,” deputy of the Lutsk city council Ihor Huz, and the head of the Association of Young Reformers Mykhailo Shelep took part. The participants of the press conference cited examples of political pressure on students of the Lesya Ukrainka Volyn State University. In particular, according to representatives of the Volyn branch of the “Our Ukraine” Youth Coalition, on September 2 of this year at the law faculty of VSU, Dean Ihor Yakushevych gathered representatives of the fourth year, who were told that they must become members of precinct election commissions, while not receiving information from which particular candidate they needed to go to work. On the same day at the pedagogy faculty, the deputy dean for academic work Viktoriya Prokopchuk gathered students of this faculty for a similar purpose. \n According to the participants of the press conference, the number of students from each faculty is clearly regulated by the administration of the educational institution, which indicates an existing strategy of involving students in favor of the pro-government candidate. \n The above-mentioned illegal actions of the leadership, teachers, and staff of educational institutions in the region contradict the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Education,” and the Law of Ukraine “On Elections of the President of Ukraine,” therefore representatives of the Volyn branch of the “Our Ukraine” Youth Coalition express their readiness for decisive struggle within the framework of Ukrainian legislation, including up to public protest actions, against the facts of violation by educational institutions and their officials of the electoral rights of citizens. \n
