To give you a little background, The Panchen Lama was kidnapped at the age of 6 and imprisoned to this day. He turned 16 years old on April 25th.
JOIN the Global Vigil for Tibet's Panchen Lama on May 17th!
May 17th will mark 10 years since Gedhun Choekyi Nyima's disappearance, and people around the world will be commemorating that day with a "Global Vigil for Tibet's Panchen Lama." The vigil will begin in New Zealand at 6:00pm on May 17th and travel around the world, ending at 7:00pm in Alaska.
The Global Vigil will mark the beginning of a year of intensified activities to call for the Panchen Lama's freedom and for a representative of the United Nations to visit him, as well as commemoration of the decade during which Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who means so much to Tibetans, has been lost to them. Your vigil will be listed on a new website, www.freepanchenlama.org, that has been launched by the International Tibet Support Network. Tibet supporters in Brazil, Israel, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Mexico and the United States are already planning events.
