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.
Security has been heightened in Golok and Rebkong Counties in Tibet ahead of Tibetan National Uprising Day on March 10 – a tense time of year, and when the Lhasa protests of 2008 broke out. Golok and Rebkong have been the location of a number of self-immolation protests in the past. There are road checkpoints, vehicles are being searched and people frisked, and searches of homes are taking place.
