Attack on Korean students in Omsk

In February 2004, Korean students were beaten up in Omsk. According to OmGUPS professor Vladimir Shakhov, they "returned to the hostel after midnight from a concert in the Irtysh Sports and Concert Hall, and they were beaten by hooligans from a vocational school" .

According to the professor, the leadership of the OmGUPS did not ensure proper control over the safety of students.

The students escaped with bruises. A criminal case was initiated under Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("hooliganism").
