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 marked “Serfs Emancipation Day”, which they say celebrates the 1959 events in Lhasa – including the dissolution of the Kashag and their (China’s) introduction of democratic reforms, and referring to the “emancipation from serfdom” in Tibet. China declared “Serfs Emancipation Day” in 2009, a move seen by Tibetans as an attempt to subvert Tibetan Uprising Day which is marked every year on March 10.
