Respected Department of Street and Roads of Kurdistan – further to 629/153 and 658/198, you have been notified previously concerning a number of employees of your department who adhere to [the Baha’i Faith] and identify themselves as Baha’is and who hold gatherings, feasts, and assemblies, and have even participated in group photos with other Baha’is:  they must [now] be dismissed from government employment.  However, should any of them leave their community and recant as Baha’is and stop hosting gatherings and feasts and refrain from identifying themselves [as Baha’i] and refrain from acting as they did in the past, they may continue to be employed by the government as usual.
