Gedhun Choekyi Nyima was recognized at age six by His Holiness the
Dalai Lama as one of Tibet’s most important religious leaders.
Determined to control religion in Tibet, the Chinese authorities
kidnapped this young boy and his family on May 17, 1995 just days
after he was recognised as the 11th Panchen Lama.
Despite repeated appeals to gain access to him, no international
agency or human rights organization has been granted contact with the
young Panchen Lama or his family. To date, their well-being and
whereabouts remain unconfirmed.
