Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

170 Detained

May 16, 2022;

More than 170 nomadic Tibetans were detained in Cheudru Village in Gade County on May 10 and then questioned individually concerning disagreements over the Chinese government’s orders that grazing lands be confiscated. Tibet Watch, the research and advocacy group, reports that their 50-year grassland use certificates were deemed to be out of date and their grasslands confiscated and placed under government control. The 170 had opposed this directive.
