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.

Travel Restricted

December 23, 2015;

Wang Lixiong, 62, the well-known Chinese writer and scholar, has been prevented from boarding a Beijing flight bound for Japan because, officials say, of his support for the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Independence, and “threatening national security interests”. He planned to travel to Japan and Taiwan to observe their forthcoming elections. Wang is married to Woeser, the Tibetan writer known for her outspoken condemnation of Chinese policies in Tibet.
