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.
Security in Tibet is being tightened ahead of the Winter Olympics in Beijing which takes place in February. Large numbers of police have been deployed in Lhasa and restrictions imposed in other areas on Tibetans’ movements, reports Radio Free Asia, citing local sources. Visitors to Lhasa are being “closely questioned”, and in some areas “household inspections” are taking place, searching for hidden pictures of HH the Dalai Lama.
