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.
The British Tibet support group Free Tibet has released satellite images of Yarchen Gar Monastery in eastern Tibet, showing the large-scale demolitions which have levelled almost half the site. Yarchen Gar is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist sites in the world; the Chinese authorities are evicting resident nuns and monks and deploying military security. It is understood that it will be turned into a tourist attraction.
