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.
A traditional annual Tibetan horse racing festival has gone ahead, with official approval but under armed guard. The tenth Machu Grassland Festival and Gesar Horse Race, named after a legendary warrior king and Tibetan national hero, was held from August 13 – 17 in the Kanlho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture’s Machu county. Announcements were made forbidding protests, with warnings of “serious consequences” for transgressors.
