Brest Regional Court refuses to reinstate lecturer at work

Former lecturer of the local medical college Aliaksandr Melnik, fired from his job in September, is still trying to challenge the order for his dismissal.

Nevertheless, the Brest Regional Court found no reason to grant the claim and upheld the stance of the court of the first instance. Mr. Melnik intends to challenge his dismissal at higher instances.
