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.
An attempted self-immolation in front of the Potala Palace in Lhasa was thwarted by Chinese police. A Tibetan shouted slogans as he attempted to set himself alight in the runup to March 10, Tibetan Uprising Day. Police immediately blockaded the surrounding streets and extra soldiers were deployed. There is no news of what happened to the man following his attempt.
