I knew that the Dalai Lama was exiled and currently stays in India, but I had no idea that theyd kidnapped the Panchen Lama at such a young age. That is such a shame. I hope that he is alive and healthy at the very least.

What I find funny, though, is all the articles Ive been reading about athletes protesting the Olympics in Beijing in an attempt to get China to change their stance on Tibet and Sudan. Even Steven Spielberg is protesting the Olympics (source). Apparently in San Francisco, mobs were interrupting the passing of the torch ceremony (source - source). (CNN has a boatload of info)

Perhaps all of these protests will bring light to some of Chinas stances on genocide and religious domination. Or at least make the world more aware of what is going on in Darfur and Tibet.
