Gedhun Choekyi Nyima was born on April 25, 1989, and is the 11th Panchen Lama of the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, as recognised and announced by the 14th Dalai Lama on May 14, 1995. Three days later, on May 17, the Chinese government kidnapped the 6-year-old Panchen Lama after the State Council of the People's Republic of China failed to install a replacement. A Chinese substitute is viewed as a political tool to undermine the Dalai Lama's reincarnation, which is traditionally recognised by the Panchen Lama. Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, along with his family, has been detained by the Chinese government in an undisclosed location since 1995. Chadrel Rinpoche, his khenpo, and Jampa Chungla, another Gelugpa monk, were also detained.
