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.
Gendun Choekyi Nyima, the 11th Panchen Lama is 30 today. He was abducted by the Chinese government at the age of six; no one has seen him since then. Tibetans across the world mark his birthday and rights groups continue to call for him to be found. The Central Tibetan Administration based in Dharamshala in an official function celebrated his birthday and expressed gratitude to the work of the 10th Panchen Lama.
