The whereabouts of Gendun Choekyi Nyima -- who human rights watchdogs say has been living under house arrest since Tibet's exiled god-king, the Dalai Lama, appointed him the 11th Panchen Lama -- is one of China's most zealously guarded state secrets.

DHARAMSALA - Tibetans have opted for a younger look for their parliament-in-exile in northern India, according to election results announced, with some new members saying they would press for independence for their homeland.
The stance would pit them against the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader who settled in the northern Indian hill town of Dharamsala in 1959 after a failed uprising against Beijing's rule.
