Commemoration of Panchen Lama’s Disappearance

May 18, 2020;

The exiled Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has led commemorations of the disappearance of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, Tibet’s 11th Panchen Lama. 25 years ago, on May 17, 1995, the six-year-old and his family disappeared suddenly with Chinese authorities failing to provide information on his whereabouts and condition. The CTA marked the anniversary with a “global candlelight vigil to remember Panchen Lama and honour his 25 years of an ordeal in captive”.
