Hundreds of Christian children in Zhejiang province have been asked to fill out a form stating that they did not follow a religion and "shamed" for their faith, a persecution watchdog has revealed.

According to World Watch Monitor, over 300 children from two high schools in the region, which has been referred to as the "Jerusalem of the East" for its strong Christian presence, were handed a "questionnaire in class about faith."

"Children in this part of China would write 'Christian' because of 1) their innocence and 2) they come from families of fervent believers who do not compromise their faith," a source told WWM.
