They are to be denied employment "if they identify themselves as Bahais." and they should be denied "any position of influence. such as In the educational sector." Moreover. the plan states. "to the extent that it does not encourage them to be Bahais. it Is permissible" for Bahals to have ration booklets. passports. burial certificates. and work permits.
