The secret service wants students to act as informants and provide information about the student protests abroad or domestically, according to research by the AD.
Many students who have been approached by AIVD said they feel intimidated. All students were approached by someone who initially claimed to be an official of the Interior.
MP Ronald van Raak of the Socialist Party wants students to be protected from recruitment practices.
