Reports are emerging that students and their families in Tibet are being denied the usual holiday time to observe Sakadawa, the holy month which celebrates the birth of Buddha. The Tibet Post reports that the Chinese Bureau of Education has written to schools to prohibit Sakadawa celebrations, and has further prohibited any religion within schools and homes, threatening strict punishments for people who do not comply.
