Draft law to remove religion field from ID cards is back

LEGISLATION WATCH- A bill that would remove the ‘religion’ field from national ID cards is back from the dead: A private member’s bill will seek to remove the religion field from national ID cards and all other official state documents, according to El Watan News. Rep. Ismail Nasr El Din, the backer of the bill, he will be seeking co-signers for his bill. A similar bid in 2016 to strike religion from ID cards went nowhere.
