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.
China has closed the Tibetan Autonomous Region to all foreign visitors ahead of Tibetan Uprising Day which falls on March 10. All foreign travellers were told to leave by February 25, and no new travel permits will be issued. This annual practice of closing the area in March has intensified since the 2008 uprising. There are also more restrictions, armed security forces and crackdowns to curb activities by Tibetans.
