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.

Online Threats

June 13, 2013;

“Targeted Online Threats in the Tibetan Community”,  an awareness raising event organised by the Tibet Action Institute and Students for a Free Tibet, was held at TCV Day School in McLeod Ganj,  Key speakers included Masashi Crete-Nishihata from the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab and Lhadon Tethong, Director of the Tibet Action Institute. Masashi said Tibetans are targeted as a community and not as individuals. Lhadon explained that Tibetans are targeted becuase they have been “effective in undermining Chinese control inside Tibet and in exile”. “They are fighting us because we are strong,” Lhadon said.
