Vanished Panchen Lama leading happy life: China Agence France-Presse Beijing, August 5 A boy picked by the Dalai Lama to fill Tibet's second-highest Buddhist position and who vanished in 1995 is leading a "happy, normal" life, China said on Tuesday. In a rare comment about the boy selected to be the next Panchen Lama -- and since dubbed the world's youngest political prisoner by rights groups -- the Chinese foreign ministry said he is now a student progressing well. "He is not the incarnated soul boy," the foreign ministry said in response to questions as to the whereabouts of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima who has not been seen since he was put under house arrest by China as a six-year-old. "He's only an ordinary Chinese child, the same as other children. He is now in a good healthy condition, leading a normal and happy life. "He has got a good cultural education. He is a student now and is studying well." Beijing rarely refers to the child, chosen in 1995 by the exiled Dalai Lama, Tibet's top spiritual leader, as the reincarnation of the former Panchen Lama who died in 1989. Chinese police swiftly placed the boy under house arrest, and in an unorthodox course of action for an officially atheist regime, Beijing selected its own candidate and has since then trumpeted that child's legitimacy. The boy's disappearance sparked angry scenes in Tibet and even today protests are held by activists across the world demanding to know where he is. The Panchen Lama is of great importance in Tibetan Buddhism because he usually leads the search for a reincarnated Dalai Lama. hindustantimes.com
