- Aghnia Adzkia was passing through security at Ciampino Airport on Sunday

- The Goldsmith's University student can be heard demanding to see the law
- Aghnia refused to take off her hijab claiming she was being unfairly targeted
Ms Adzkia posted a furious social media post about the experience, which she says took place as she was traveling to London.
She wrote: 'I wasn't prepared to trust them unless they could cite me a law or provide me with a legal document that saying they were authorised to have to check what is underneath of my hijab.
'It is a matter of human dignity and rights. For what reason were they asked me to take off my hijab?'
She added: 'I AM A MUSLIM HIJABI, NOT A TERRORIST!
'The way they treated me has shown that they do not respect a Muslim female wearing the hijab.'

Later the same evening, Ms Adzkia booked a ticket to fly to London from Leonardo da VinciFiumicino Airport, also in Rome.
Security staff again asked her to remove her hijab, this time she agreed and was able to get her flight.
Ms Adzkia wrote: 'I wanted to prove to them that I have nothing to hide and that I am not a terrorist.
'In the meantime, I saw two nuns wearing headscarves, but they weren't asked to take them off.
'Is this what you call fair treatment and respect? Where are my human rights?'
