Chinese authorities have closed a popular Christian school in Beijing, leaving the academic lives of more than 100 children in disarray. It is part of a growing crackdown on religion in China.
Officials of Tongzhou district in Beijing shut down Golden Reed Kindergarten & Primary School Learning Center in September following an order to vacate the property and close the school, reported China Aid, a rights group led by Chinese exiles documenting human rights abuses and promoting religious freedom in China.
More than 100 mostly Christian students, including those with special needs like autism, studied in the school established by Golden Lampstand Church, an evangelical house church.
