We present a new coding scheme that combines the advantages of a product-like concatenation of Reed-Muller codes with so-called iterative `turbo' decoding and provides powerful unequal error protection abilities. It is shown that various levels of error protection can be realized using a sophisticated encoding scheme for Reed-Muller codes. A discussion of this code construction, the resulting distance profile between the different levels as well as of the iterative decoding scheme is given
