Article summary: 

The Supreme Administrative Court in the Council of State headed by Counselor Majdī al-'Ajātī, ruled in favor of re-converters to Christianity and gave them the right to prove their religion on the national ID card and birth certificate. 

The Court will still have to consider another 12 similar cases [al-Jumhūrīyah said 15 cases]. Furthermore, the Court criticized the Ministry of Interior Affairs for not executing the verdicts.
