Dutch Ministry of Education withdraws its demand

January 30, 2008

Dear friends:


 Yesterday, in a meeting between the Dutch Ministry of Education and
representatives of the universities in Holland, the Ministry agreed to
withdraw its recent demand for a guarantee that the Iranian students
not be allowed to have access to sensitive technical information.
Consequently the Technical University of Twente that had stopped
accepting Iranian students in order to avoid potential penalties,
changed its policy.

The Dutch universities and many  scientific institutions worldwide
strongly opposed this action of the Ministry of Education, and the
Petition that was posted by the Iranian students received more than
4,000 signatures.

We should be pleased that another attempt to discriminate against the
Iranian academic community has been stopped.

Many thanks for supporting the Iranian students in Holland,

Fredun Hojabri
