Activists are holding a stand in front of the State Council in Dokki, Saturday 16 December, 10am, in solidarity with Egypt’s Bahaai minority, who are suffering state discrimination against them, that includes refusing to issue any official documents to them, since Mubarak’s “secular” government requires the religion of the citizen to be mentioned on his/her ID cards. However, the Interior Ministry’s computer can only process three entries: Muslim, Christian, Jew.
Baha’is cannot issue birth and death certificates, ID cards, or any govt document, since the interior ministry does not recognize they exist.
