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.
Today marks the anniversary of the abduction of six year old Gedun Choekyi Nyima, the 11th Panchen Lama, the second highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism after the Dalai Lama. The Chinese abducted him soon after his recognition by HH the Dalai Lama and he has not been seen since despite continued international calls for his release. China claims he is “living a normal life” and doesn’t want to be disturbed.
