A number of supporters of the anti-Islam party PVV have reported to discrimination monitoring groups, saying they are being discriminated against, De Pers reports on Tuesday.

Last year 77 people complained of discrimination because of their ‘political convictions’, three times the 2009 total, the paper said.
By comparison, there were 2,000 complaints of discrimination on racial grounds and 500 because of age or sex.
The main cause for complaint by PVV supporters is ‘statements made to the press’. Others have complained about being likened to supporters of the Dutch national socialist movement.
In one case, a school pupil made a formal complaint after a school project was failed because the teacher disagreed with the PVV standpoints it contained.
