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.
A prayer service was held in Dharamshala to mark the 28th anniversary of the Martial Law imposed on Lhasa by China and enforced by Hu Jintao, then party secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Hundreds of Tibetans lost their lives during the year that the Law was in force, and thousands more were arrested and imprisoned. Tibet was closed to outsiders for a further few years.
