Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Weeks of police harassment, with the beating and detention of around 80 resident of Tawu county who were planning “separatist activities” – to celebrate the 80th birth year of HH the Dalai Lama – led to Tenzin Gyatso’s self-immolation earlier this week. His protest was followed by minor scuffles with police and four girls – Tashi Dolma, Tsering, Choetso, and Rigdzin Lhamo – were taken into custody.
