NGO's - China puts religious freedom in its laws

The religious rights of its citizens will be from March 1 protected by law, write domestic and foreign media. The country has also admitted it was a mistake monks have been prosecuted during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) in a still rare move of trying to get even with its historial disasters. China has about a 100 million believers, official figures say.
Much of the execution will be in the details, that will only be clear after the laws are in place, but it seems yet another step, consistent with other efforts to establish a civil society in China.
