Free the 11th Panchen Lama from communists

The Panchen Lama was 6 years old when he and his parents were kidnapped from their home in Tibet by the chinese communist. Now a teenage boy, he was the world's youngest political prisoner when he was first abducted and has been missing for 20 years.

Panchen Lama is a religious title like Vice President or Prime Minister that Tibetans give to the second greatest leader of Tibet. Panchen means "Great Scholar" and Lama is a word Tibetans use for a religious teacher. We believe that the Panchen Lama is the protector of all the world's living beings.This all means that the Panchen Lama should grow up to be a very powerful leader of Tibet and perhaps the world.

Tibet used to be its own country but china invaded it in 1949. After the chinese took over, Tibetans in Tibet were no longer free or happy. china kidnapped the Panchen Lama, his parents and brother from their home in Tibet and are holding them under house arrest somewhere in china.

china had so many soldiers and so many guns that they didn't care how the Tibetans felt or what they said. They were very angry because the Tibetans said they wanted their country back so they started to put Tibetans in jail where many of them were beaten and killed.
The Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibet, escaped to India before the chinese soldiers could find him and hurt him. But the chinese soldiers found the 10th Panchen Lama and wouldn't let him go.After 1959, life was very sad for Tibetans in Tibet. Many people died because they were tortured in prison and put in labour camps.

Today, Tibetans in Tibet are still forced to live by the oppression of the chinese communists. china does not like anyone who says their laws should be changed. This is why so many Tibetans ran away as refugees from Tibet to live in other places like Canada, the United States and India.
