Where is the Panchen Lama celebrating his birthday?

25 April is the birthday of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who became arguably the world's youngest political prisoner at the age of six. Please sign the birthday card to wish Gedhun Choekyi Nyima a very happy birthday, wherever he is.

Background: Tibet's Stolen Child, the 11th Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, was born on April 25, 1989. He was kidnapped by Chinese authorities on 17 May, 1995, and another child was announced as the 'real' Panchen Lama. Despite pressure from human rights groups and requests from various countries, China still refuses to reveal his whereabouts or prove that he is alive and well.
