Russia Today: Iranian students in the Netherlands are taking the Dutch state to court. They say they have been excluded from certain courses and places, because of UN sanctions against their native country - a situation the students insist is discriminatory and against in breach of their human rights.

Behnam Taebi is leading the campaign against the measures. Hes doing a PhD in science and engineering, and wants to make sure others also have the opportunity.

The Dutch government is unique in interpreting it this way. Students are not mentioned in the resolution and it says nothing about Iranian Dutch people, and this is what were opposing, he said.

Taebi rallied together with a group of Iranian students from across the country who are determined to fight for their rights: students like Kawa Bitaraf, who has lived in the Netherlands since he was four and has never had an Iranian passport.
