CIVIL ACTIVITIES:
CIVIL most strongly condemns the attacks, slanders and threats that these days Konstantin Plevnes, Professor at ЕСРА, has referred to Professor Katerina Kolozova and her friends. Even more so because this behaviour of Plevnes is something that continuously goes unpunished.
We demand from the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Interior to act immediately upon the reports of the affected persons. We remind that impunity of such acts additionally encourages perpetrators of repeating their truly disgusting acts, which from hate speech can easily turn into hateful actions!
We urge the competent authorities to recognise the seriousness of these actions and to most urgently sanction those who allow themselves to harass and publically humiliate anyone.
