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.
A man was arrested at the main Bangladesh airport with 25kg (55lb) worth $1.5m (£1.15m) taped to his thighs. Jamil Akhter pretended to be a wheelchair user, hoping to avoid detection but customs officials became suspicious when they saw that this was his 13th trip abroad this year. Bangladesh has emerged as a hub for smuggling gold into India – this is the largest haul this year.
