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.
April 29 is known as Martyrs Day, marking the day in 1998 that Pawo Thupten Ngodup, the first Tibetan to self-immolate, died in hospital in Delhi. He set himself on fire on April 27 in Delhi during a TYC hunger strike. Martyrs Day honours him and all the Tibetans who have sacrificed their lives for Tibet.
