Obligatory assignment contradicts Constitution

In Belarus, 65 civil suits have been launched on the students who didn’t take the employment they had been assigned to within the policy of obligatory assignment of high school students. Well-known human rights activist Valiantsin Stefanovich believes that the assignment policy is a soviet atavism of forcing to work at a specific place. The human rights activist cites the Belarusian Constitution that proclaims the work a right - not a duty - of a citizen.
