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.
Tashi Namgyal, a Tibetan asylum-seeker in Switzerland, committed suicide on a railway track in Lucerne. Police found a note in his wallet in which Namgyal called on the United Nations to support Tibetan people and urged the Swiss government to grant political asylum to the 300 Tibetans in Switzerland who, like Namgyal, have applied for, and been refused, asylum.
