Tibetans of Kalimpong demand release of Panchen Lama
The Tibean community has accused the Chinese authorities of holding the 11th Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima captive since 1995 in an undisclosed destination. President of Regional Tibetan Human Association Chongdak Bhutia told reporters that the protest was being held every year for the release of the 11th Panchen Lama, held captive.
Bhutia said members of the Tibetan community organized rallies and protests in various parts of India, demanding the release of the Panchen Lama.
The Panchen Lama, the second in hierarchy in the Tibetan Buddhist order, next to the Dalai Lama, had turned 37 years old, he said. “But where is he? What kind of situation is he facing? Nothing is known about him.”
Bhutia demanded that the Indian government should also help in the release of the Panchen Lama
