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.

September 20, 2022;

Over 500 families in Nagchu county’s Nyima district were relocated to Tsethang county in Lhoka in July to make way for Chinese government projects – public parks and minings – reports Tibet Times. Most are nomads with large numbers of animals. Their requests to reconsider their decision have been ignored by the authorities; the promised compensation of 10,000 Yuan [ $1,400 / £1,250 ] has not been received and they are living under great hardship.
