The Supreme Court will hear arguments in a religious rights case involving a Rastafarian man in its next term, which begins in October.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a Rastafarian man's bid to sue state prison officials in Louisiana after guards held him down and shaved him bald in violation of his religious beliefs.

The Supreme Court announced it will take up the case of a devout Rastafarian whose dreadlocks were forcibly shaved by Louisiana prison guards.
