E/CN.4/1995/91 page 128 in the information gathered by the Special Rapporteur, other than in the case of a few specific sects such as the Protestant "shouters" sect. It is not permissible to compel Muslims to do voluntary work and give alms and the call to prayer must take place within the mosque. As far as Catholics are concerned, mass is increasingly being celebrated in Chinese rather than in Latin, or even in English for foreigners. With regard to pilgrimages to Tibet, the CERA stated that exiled Tibetans did not face any special obstacles and that there was a body specifically responsible for taking charge of them. Several persons with whom the Special Rapporteur spoke expressed reservations about proselytizing by the Christian sects, for they considered it to be irregular and likely to be in breach of the law, firstly because it spread rumours which caused disorder (such as the announcement of the apocalypse) and secondly, because it was not in accordance with Christianity.

Training for religious orders The Special Rapporteur was informed that theology constituted the main element of training for religious orders and that part of the curriculum was devoted to international affairs and legislation. The theology classes were taught by members of religious orders, whilst tuition in the other subjects was provided by non-believers. In the case of Tibet, unofficial sources reported that religious trainees had insufficient time to study theology since they were overwhelmingly concerned with administrative problems, largely to do with the necessity of ensuring that monasteries are self financing. The CERA considered on the contrary that pressure of time did not affect the study of theology. The Director-General of the Chinese Centre for Tibetan Studies said that monks receiving training were a problem since some of them were illiterate, having been sent to the monasteries at birth in order to ensure their survival. A survey of monks at the Sera Monastery had apparently shown that 78 of them were in fact illiterate and were therefore incapable of acquiring the necessary theological knowledge. c. Religious education for the under-18s in schools and places of worship The authorities and religious representatives believed that religious education could not be introduced in schools because of the policy of
