Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

American Heroes

August 24, 2015;

A Moroccan gunman attempting to hold up a train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris was tackled and subdued by three Americans, assisted by a Briton. The Americans have been thanked by French President Hollande. US airman Spencer Stone said survival instinct led him to react and his friend, Alek Skarlatos of the US National Guard, said the gunman appeared to have no training. The gunman has been linked to radical Islamism.
