Iranians refused admission to Twente University

Wednesday 02 January 2008

Twente University has confirmed that it turned away three Iranians who wanted to study at the university, following reports in Trouw.

The university rejected the three Iranians in December following stricter admittance procedures put in place by the foreign affairs and education ministries to prevent Iran expanding its nuclear knowledge base, a spokesman told ANP news service.

This is not fair. Only Iranian nationals suffer from this terrible decision. This is another type of dicrimination by the first world countries against the countries which want to progress. By this stupid reason, every university in EU can stop Iranian application in all courses.
The commitees who decide such a discriminate decission are not scientists. Science can not be hiden.

US has long been scrutinizing visa process, but they always end up letting the hardcore Hezbollahi from Iran in and leave some who had nothing to do with the regime out. I hope Europe does a better job.

The sad fact is... Fear always trumps Freedom. Fear is used to justify every Totlitarian Police State. Have we forgot about history already? Sad.

History is repeating it's self and begining to rear it's ugly head.
