FREE THE PANCHEN LAMA !
The Panchen Lama is 18 years old now ... He was born in Lhari, Tibet. We have no idea where he is now as he was 6 years old when he and his parents were kidnapped from their home in Tibet by the Chinese government. He is the world's youngest political prisoner and he has been missing for over 11 years.
The Panchen Lama is the second greatest leader of Tibet. Panchen means "Great Scholar" and Lama is a word Tibetans use for a religious teacher. Buddhists believe that the Panchen Lama is the protector of all the world's living beings. Which means that the boy in the picture will grow up to be a very powerful leader in Tibetan Buddhism.
Why did the Chinese Government kidnap The Panchen Lama?
Tibet used to be its own country, never part of the motherland China.
China invaded Tibet in 1949. After the Chinese gov't took over, Tibetans in Tibet were no longer free, not culturally, not religiously. Almost 20 % of the population has been ethnically cleansed. Monasteries and religious objects are destroyed and burned. Monks are brutally killed and tortured. It is forbidden to have pictures of the Dalai Lama. There is no freedom of speech. Tibet is an occupied country !
This genocide, torture and opression continues till today !!
The Panchen Lama and his family are held under house arrest 'somewhere' in China. We have no clue of his whereabouts.
So ... Please have a look at this website and take some time to sign the petition.
Thank you so much !!!!!!!
