Ukrainian Students’ Society says it has advised university security that it’s holding a general meeting Tuesday, in the wake of incidents it believes amount to harassment.

The Ukrainian Students’ Society at the University of Victoria says it has advised university security that it’s holding a general meeting today, in the wake of incidents its members believe amount to harassment.

The group, which has about 50 members, said it is joined by Victoria’s Ukrainian community in calling on UVic and the UVic Students’ Society to act. Tyson Strandlund of the Young Communist League said members have never made threats, and maintain an anti-war stance, consistently calling for a peaceful political settlement to the war in Ukraine.

The students’ concerns have grown through the fall semester amid anonymous emails and online comments disparaging the society, sometimes with reference to fascism.
