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.

Lone Protest

April 10, 2014;

A Tibetan youth has been arrested following a solitary protest in Mani Ghego town in Dege County in the traditional Tibetan province of Kham. A video of the protest, taken by an onlooker, shows the youth in the street, throwing leaflets in the air and shouting “Longlive Gyalwa Tenzin Gyatso (the Dalai Lama), Tibet needs freedom”. Passersby can be heard expressing their support of his protest. The video is being circulated on Facebook. No further information about the youth or his protest is available.
