IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Autor)
According to a representative of the
Iranian Association in Toronto, during the Iran-Iraq War soldiers
normally carried ID cards (1 May 1995). The representative adds
that, generally speaking, military personnel carry ID cards during
their period of service. However, in some remote military
garrisons, it is possible that soldiers are issued draft (service)
papers instead of ID cards (ibid.).
The DIRB is currently unable to corroborate
the above information.
Although they are not directly related to
the above subject, the two attached articles, which refer to ID
cards of Iranian military personnel in 1979 and 1991, might be
useful.
This response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
