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.
Eight Tibetan refugees – mostly Bon monks and nuns – who were being held in Nepal while on their way to India have reached Dharamshala. Nepalese immigration cited “security concerns” as their reason for holding the group. Their exit from Nepal was negotiated by an informal agreement between Nepal, India and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. China is pressuring Nepal to prevent Tibetans from escaping via Nepal.
