Tibetan exiles take candlelight march in Manali

Manali, Apr 27 (ANI): Tibetan exiles took a candlelight march here pressing for the release of the Panchen Lama from China.

The candlelight vigil was held on the occasion of Panchen Lama's 20th birthday celebrations.

The march was organised by the Tibetan Youth Association and the Tibetan Women Association in Manali.

The Tibetans demanded the help of the international community in the release of Panchen Lama.

"Panchen Lama was born on April 25, 1989. Red China arrested him when he was six years old. We don't know anything about the Lama, his health and everything. Nobody knows this. We request the people of India, the Government of India and the people in the world to help release him from Red China," said Khentse, president of the Tibetan Youth Association. (ANI)
