SCHOOL CHILDREN PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATING IN RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES DURING WINTER VACATIONS

The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) said that a directive issued on December 31, 2019 by the Lhasa Chengguan Haicheng Elementary School contained 7-point guidelines on winter break school tasks and projects, healthcare and forbidden behaviour, including religious activities. It said “Students are not allowed to participate in any form of religious activity during the break, and in principle long-distance travel with students is not allowed.” It added “In the event of an accident, all consequences are the responsibility of the parents.” The winter break is for about two months from December 31.

(Comment: A similar ban was announced during the previous summer and winter vacations in 2018 and 2019.)
