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.

Evictions

January 23, 2015;

Tibetan families are being evicted from their homes in government-built housing projects in the town of Kyegudo in Qinghai province, built following the town’s destruction in the 2009 earthquake. The occupants had requested exentions to their houses which were too small, but having lost everything in the ‘quake could not pay the costs demanded by the government, hence the evictions which are being carried out by armed police.
