Court does not reinstate Farion in Lviv Polytechnic National University
The Halytskyi District Court of Lviv denied Iryna Farion’s claim to reinstate her as a professor at the Lviv Polytechnic National University.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated in the decision of the Halytskyi District Court of Lviv.
"PERSON_1 (Iryna Farion - ed.) filed a lawsuit against Lviv Polytechnic National University to declare illegal and annul the dismissal order. ...PERSON_1 asks the court to reinstate her as a professor at the Department of Ukrainian Language of the Institute of Humanities of Lviv Polytechnic National University from November 23, 2023 ..." - the court decision reads.
The plaintiff believes that her dismissal is illegal and that the order to do so is groundless, unreasonable, and not based on the actual facts of her moral misconduct.
The court, in turn, notes that the grounds for Farion's dismissal were her statements regarding Russian-speaking servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during an interview with journalist Yanina Sokolova in the " Randevu " program on the " Channel 5 " television channel. The defendant (Lviv Polytechnic - ed.) qualified the plaintiff's actions as an immoral offense.
"The court is convinced that the servicemen and their commanders are fully capable of resolving this issue on their own, especially since their consciousness and civic responsibility are not in doubt in society .... Following the consideration of this case, the court had no doubt that the plaintiff's behavior, namely her statements, can be characterized as an immoral offense," the court's decision emphasizes.
On February 7, the court rejected the claim.
The dismissal of Iryna Farion
Recall that on November 7, Iryna Farion said that she does not consider the Russian-speaking military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be Ukrainians. Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets saw this as a violation of the equality of citizens and said that he had appealed to the National Police, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting to take appropriate measures. Soldiers from the front line responded to the linguist in Ukrainian, calling her "a stupid f#ck".
Subsequently, the collegium and the trade union committee of students of the Lviv Polytechnic National University, where Farion teaches, called on law enforcement officers to check her statements for insulting the honor and dignity of the military.
On November 14, students of Lviv Polytechnic protested and demanded the release of Iryna Farion, who works at this educational institution.
Censor.NET also reported that Farion turned a pro-Ukrainian student in Crimea over to the FSB. Tasheva promises to bring her to justice.
On November 15, she was fired from her job.
On December 7, 2023, Farion filed a lawsuit over her dismissal from Lviv Polytechnic National University.
