Centralized Exam at School No3 in Bereza: Unusual Police Presence Raises Questions
On May 29, an annual centralized exam in Belarusian and Russian languages was held at School No3 in Bereza. A local newspaper published a video of the graduating students entering the school, which prompted a debate due to the presence of police officers at the entrance.
The video showed police officers conducting searches of the students, as reported by "Solidarnasc." One of the officers was seen carrying an AK-47, a military-grade weapon, instead of the shortened version usually carried by MVD officers. The video's authors claimed this was routine security, but no explanation was given for the need for such strong security measures at a school.
While there is no standardized protocol for police presence at schools in Belarus, occasional reports from international media suggest that increased security presence, sometimes involving police or military personnel, is sometimes implemented in response to specific threats or as part of broader security strategies in various countries. However, the specific incident at School No3 in Bereza, Belarus, and details about standard procedures for police presence at schools in Belarus cannot be definitively confirmed based on available sources.
It is essential to clarify the reasons behind the unusual security measures employed at School No3 in Bereza. If you have additional information about this incident, please consider sharing it with Charter97.org or contact your local schools administration for further details.
