Report of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearance: E/CN.4/2006/57
---------
The Disappearance of Eleventh Panchen Lama of Tibet
The Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearance noted after first meeting this year that the Working Group “discussed communications received on the case of the Panchen Lama of Tibet, China .” The press release of 2 May 2006 further stated that “the Working Group noted that this session coincided with the 17th birthday of the Panchen Lama who disappeared when he was only 6 years old.”[1]
We remain deeply concerned about the disappearance of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima and his parents, and request the Working Group to update the Human Rights Council about its current efforts on this outstanding case. Furthermore, we would like to know what is the opinion of the Working Group about the recommendation made last year by the Committee on the Rights of the Child that China : “Allow an independent expert to visit and confirm the wellbeing of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima while respecting his right to privacy, and that of his parents.”[2]
Thank you.
