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.

Gatherings Banned

March 8, 2015;

Tibetans in Nepal have been denied permission to hold any kind of public gathering this year on March 10, the 56th Tibetan National Uprising Day. The Tibetan Refugee Welfare Office in Kathmandu had sought permission but was refused, and the Tibetan Government-in-exile has directed people to abide by the laws of the land. Nepal is under increasing pressure from China, a major investor in Nepal, to crackdown on Tibetans.
