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.

Forced Relocation

June 13, 2015;

People whose homes have been destroyed by the Nepal earthquakes are being relocated to Shigatse, 300 km away and their possessions cleared from their houses. People from a village in Rongshar, Dingri County, who are refusing to leave their village are being denied relief aid. It is understood that new houses will be built on on the village barley fields which will jeopardise their main source of food.
