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.
At least 25 Tibetans from Lithang County in Kham were arrested around July 6, HH the Dalai Lama’s birthday, reports the Tibet Post International. News has only just emerged because of the communications restrictions. 15 of those arrested were monks, many of them senior, from Lithang Monastery. The lay people arrested with them are reported to be nomads. Celebrating His Holiness’s birthday is banned in Tibet.
