Tibetans in exile have demanded the release of the Panchen Lama, who disappeared into Chinese custody in 1995 after being chosen by the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spirirual leader. Chinese authorities selected another child as the Panchen Lama, widely seen as Tibetan Buddhism's second-most important spiritual leader.
