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.

Photocopying Restrictions

May 14, 2015;

A new restriction has been imposed on Tibetans living in the Tsolho region of Qinghai in Tibet. A group of Tibetans was refused permission to photocopy Tibetan-language papers relating to environmental protection, and told that the Chinese authorities’ approval is required first. They are members of the Ser-nya Soong-kyop Tsokpa (Goldfish Protection Association), a voluntary environmental group working to protect and clean up Kokonor lake (Tib: Tso Nyon Po).
