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.
In an escalation of the crackdown in Tibet’s restive Driru county, Chinese police have doubled the number of checkpoints on a road leading into the county, increasing the number to eight. A resident said “restrictions, blockades, and crackdowns continue in our area”. Travelers failing to co-operate at the roadblocks are stopped, searched and sometimes beaten. Driru has been a centre of unrest for the past year.
