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.

New Surveillance Techniques

October 12, 2013;

A new surveillance technique is being used by Chinese authorities in a secret hunt for Tibetans from Nagchu. The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy reports that police are using code words to monitor the movement and activities of Tibetans, bringing Nagchu Tibetans in Lhasa under 24-hour police surveillance. Police officers constantly share information about peoples’ whereabouts making it convenient for the authorities to immediately arrest potential “trouble makers”.
