A large demonstration took place outside the tibetan center in London saturday. Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of the dissapearence of the Panchen Lama who was accosted by the Chinese government just days after being identified as the next lama, the 2nd most important figure in Tibetan Buddhism. The Chinese government named its own Panchen Lama but many tibetans refer to him as a stooge to the chinese government. The chinese government insists that the original Panchen Lama is living a normal life in Beijing with his family but won't reveal any details. The Chinese government continues to refer to the Dalai Lsma as a seperatist despite his campaigns for autonomous rule, not complete independence.
