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.
Chinese officials in Payul County, eastern Tibet, are reported to have forced Tibetans from their homes in late June. Around 13 families are reported to have been moved from their traditional homes to a settlement established by the Chinese authorities as part of a “poverty alleviation programme”. The homes in the new settlement are adorned by Chinese flags and have pictures of communist party leaders hung inside.
