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 issued a new edict in Tibet banning parents of Tibetan children from carrying any religious items, including the malas [rosaries] and prayer wheels commonly carried by lay people in Tibet, or from reciting mantras, inside school grounds, reports Radio Free Asia. This comes on top of existing restrictions on the use of the Tibetan language in Tibetan schools, where lessons are given in Mandarin.
