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.

Teacher Arrested

August 11, 2021;

Rinchen Kyi, a teacher at the Singdruk Taktse private school which was abruptly closed by Chinese authorities last month, has been arrested, apparently on charges of “separatism”. Tibet Watch, the UK-based Tibet advocacy group, reports that the school was closed because it taught in Tibetan, and taught traditional Tibetan culture. Rinchen Kyi is reported to be in poor health and held in an unspecified hospital hundreds of kilometres from her home.
