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.
107 nuns were expelled from Shar Bhumpa nunnery in Phenbo, near Lhasa, in August this year. They had distributed pamphlets saying “We have been forced to leave our quarters where we worship and study. We have nowhere to go. Please save us”. Chinese authorities bulldozed their residence quarters. A few nuns have also been reportedly missing. News has only now reached the exile community due to the communication clampdown.
