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.

Nuns Rebel

March 13, 2015;

Tibetan nuns protested to Chinese officials visiting their nunnery, Drakkar Choeling, in Tawu county in Kardze. They threw gifts of shoes onto the ground, rejected government offers of assistance and called for freedom from Chinese rule. The officials had tried to “persuade the nuns to express their appreciation and affection for China” as well as warning the nuns they would “face consequences” if they participated in anti-China protests.
