Attached please find a copy of an
unofficial translation of the Public Military Service Act of the
Islamic Republic of Iran. Please note that Chapter 4 (Articles
31-46) of this Act stipulates grounds for exemption from military
service. In addition, some of the articles of Chapters 1-3
(Articles 1-30) make reference to the criteria for exemption of
military service.
According to the Act, persons who are liable for military service
can be exempted for medical, educational and guardianship reasons.
The attachment provides details on these grounds and other grounds
which qualify individuals for exemption.
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.
