More than 3,000 Polish students signed up for the £5-a-head coach trip but were bussed straight to a demo for Iranian militants the People's Mujahideen.

The group is listed as a banned terrorist group by both America and the EU.

"It was a shock," said one student. "I thought we were going to live it up in Paris - not join a terrorist group."

It could have been worse... they could have ended up in Butlins.
