During the past five years, only one report

had boon received by the Education Department in 1986 concerning suspected non-traditional religious activities involving a few students of a government secondary school. The incident had been reported to the Police and no illegal

activities had been detected upon investigation.

The

with the students and the parents concerned.

Since then,

no further reports of unusual religious activities had been made on the religious group in question.
