The Chinese authorities have issued an order restricting Tibetan families from observing the month-long Saka Dawa festival, one of the holiest festivals of Tibetan Buddhism. Parents are not to take their children to the ceremonies and schools are to inform the education bureau about any pupils who have been absent during the festival. Similar prohibitions apply in the Muslim Xinjiang region of China during Ramadam.
