Iran may force badges on Jews, Christians


"TEHRAN, May 19 (UPI) -- Iran's parliament passed a new law this week that would
force the country's Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear
color-coded ID badges.

Iranian expatriates confirmed reports the Iranian parliament, or majlis, has approved a law that would require non-Muslims to adhere to a dress code which mandates they wear "standard Islamic garments,"according to Canada's National Post.

The roughly 25,000 Jews living in the Islamic Republic would have to attach a yellow strip of cloth to their clothing, Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would wear blue ones." More here.
