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.
Young monks in Tibet visiting home for Losar (the Tibetan New Year) are being prevented from returning to their monasteries. Authorities in Qinghai are demanding that they attend government schools as lay students. The campaign appears to target monks from rural nomadic areas who are under 19 years old and is understood to be aimed at restricting Tibetan monasteries, perceived as centres of resistance to Beijing’s rule.
