Panchen Lama

Panchen Lama is know as one of Tibet’s most important religious leaders. He have been recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama. Tibetans want their religious leader back and safe among them. But Chinese authorities have kidnapped the young boy and his family in 1995 just after his recognition as the reincarnation of one of the most important religious leader. Tibetans have appealed to the Chinese government to release the Panchen Lama and his family, but the Chinese government say they want to hold him and his family in a “protective custody.” Till now not even one international agency or human rights organization have been in contact with the Lama.

Furthermore, the Chinese authorities selected their own 11th Panchen Lama in November 1995 with an effort to control the internal affairs of Tibet. It is a six year-old boy named Gyaltsen Norbu who has been selected as the 11th Panchen Lama. He is another young victim in China's plan to control the Tibetan people, their religion, and their nation.
