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.
Foreigners are being refused access to Yachen Gar Tibetan Buddhist academy in Kardze in Sichuan. Like nearby Larung Gar, Yachen Gar is being partly demolished and its population of monks and nuns reduced. Brice Pedroletti, a reporter for the French Le Monde, and his companions were stopped, searched, questioned and kept under armed guard when they tried to visit recently, and sent despite having the correct visas.
