ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

This year marks three decades since the disappearance of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, recognized by the Dalai Lama as an important Tibetan Buddhist leader. Shortly after this recognition, Chinese authorities abducted him and his family. They have not been seen since.

The call for Gedhun Choekyi Nyima's release continues, with demands for Chinese authorities to cease persecuting Tibetans based on their religious beliefs.
