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.
News is emerging, despite the crackdown on communications, of Tibetans living in the Qinghai and Sichuan provinces openly celebrating HH the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday in spite of Chinese bans, threats of punishment and tightened restrictions. People recited prayers and burned incense, and raised large banners, there were also reports of fireworks, although many people chose to celebrate quietly at home.
