In the Republic of Moldova's capital, Chisinau, about one thousand Christian Orthodox believers gathered in front of the Palace of the Republic today, where legislative sessions are normally held, to ask that a new identification card be released to them.

The current ID card has a unique number for every Moldovan citizen. The protesters think that that number is "Satan's code."

“We are not animals and we must not identify ourselves according to codes and numbers. People have to be identified according to their Christian name," said Serghei Botnariuc, a priest.

The group asked for a new identification card that does not include a number on it.
