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.

The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Jacob Oulanyah, has urged journalists to serve with humility and integrity.
While speaking during a thanksgiving service and launch of the Church of Uganda Media Association yesterday to commemorate the World Press Freedom Day, Mr Oulanyah appealed to media practitioners to stick to the journalism code of ethics as they execute their work if they are to be rewarded by both God and men.
Helpio allows victims in northern Nigeria to report cases anonymously and seek help, amid widespread fear of stigmatisation and soaring sexual assault figures.
On a morning last February, eight-year-old Aminatu Zana – whose real name has been concealed – was raped in her hometown of Kano, Nigeria’s second largest city. The alleged perpetrator was no stranger: a neighbour, who used his familiarity and a bar of chocolate to lure the child into his room, then threatened her if she spoke of his crime.
But bloody traces of his assault on Aminatu’s garments gave him away. Her widowed and impoverished mother, Salima, dreaded going to the police but was encouraged by her neighbours to press charges. That itself was uncommon, as due to fear of stigmatisation and lacking trust in legal pathways, many victims in this part of the country do not pursue justice.
