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.

Lawyers Barred

August 5, 2019;

Tashi Wangchuk, the Tibetan language advocate currently serving a five-year jail sentence in Donchuan prison in Amdo [Chinese: Qinghai], has been denied a visit from his lawyers. Liang Xiaojun and Lin Qilei intended to visit Wangchuk to discuss his appeal but were told that because Wangchuk does not accept he has committed a crime he is classed as “unco-operative” and will not be allowed visits from his lawyers.
