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.
Ngodup Tsering, an American citizen of Tibetan origin, and his Canadian friend were arrested in Nepal in March for wearing a jacket with the words “Team Tibet” on the back. They were stopped by 15 Nepalese armed police while visiting the Swayambhunath temple. The officer said “these words are illegal in Nepal” and that they “have direct and clear orders from China”. They were released after intervention from the US embassy.
