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.

Homes Demolished

May 9, 2015;

Authorities in China’s northwestern Qinghai province are demolishing a Tibetan village saying that the houses were built without official permission. Many families in the village of Benshul Jeyna in Mangra county in the Tsolho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are being left homeless. This is the second time this village has been demolished and people who have spent “much money and effort” rebuilding their homes are seeing them torn down again.
