Egyptian Parliament to Submit Bill Removing Religion from National ID
In an attempt to decrease religious discrimination in Egypt, Parliment Member, Ismail Nasr El-Din, is tailoring a bill to submit to the Egyptian Parliment asking them to remove the religion identification slot in all national ID in the country.
According to Al-Ahram, Nasr El Din justified the move by explaining that this would establish the same duties and rights before the constitution.
“President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi spoke in front of the whole world last week about freedom of belief and the right of every citizen to freedom of worship,” Nasr El-Din said as per the state-media outlet.
