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.
Nepal is to issue identification cards for refugees – but only for Bhutanese refugees, Tibetans will not be issued with ID cards. Phayul reports that this means Tibetans will be unable to pursue higher education or to set up businesses, nor engage in other activities in order to live self-sufficiently. Tibetans in Nepal were issued with ID cards until 1994 and since then Tibetan refugees have not been documented.
