Red Guard Runs Wild In Peking
In Peking the Red Guard has taken over churches serving about 20,000 Christians amid calls to disband political organizations such as the Democratic Allies and the Agricultural Industrial Democratic party within 72 hours. Reports from NHK and Kyodo describe desecration of churches with Mao banners, vandalized religious objects, and slogans, while Red Guard aimed to curb Western influence by cutting hair, shuttering stalls, and renaming streets with Maoist slogans.
