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.
Security has been tightened in Lhasa ahead of HH the Dalai Lama’s birthday in two months to head off any expressions of allegiance by Tibetans to their spiritual leader. Security checkpoints have been set up on all street corners and Tibetans are subject to random searches and phone checks. Drones are being used to monitor Tibetans’ movements. Tibetans regularly defy the ban on observing significant cultural and historical days.
