Taipei [Taiwan], May 19 (ANI): The Human Rights Network for Tibet and Taiwan has called on China to provide details regarding the whereabouts of the 11th Panchen Lama, who was kidnapped by the Chinese government 26 years ago.
The network founder Tashi Tsering on Monday said no information about Gedhun Choekyi Nyima or his family has been revealed since their abduction, Taiwan News reported.
"The only picture we have of him is from when he was six, just before he was kidnapped. He is the youngest political prisoner in history worldwide," he said.Tibetan government-in-exile representative to Taiwan Kelsang Gyaltsen Bawa said Beijing should release Gedhun to reduce his suffering amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
