Egyptian Court Rules Against Religious Freedom

In a closely watched case that has become the focus of a national debate on religious freedom, Egypt's SupremeAdministrative Court has ruled against the right of Baha'is to be properly identified on government documents.
The decision upholds current government policy, a policy which forces theBaha'is either to lie about their religious beliefs or give up their state identification cards. The policy effectively deprives Egyptian Baha'is ofaccess to most rights of citizenship, including education, financial services, and even medical care.
