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.

Gasoline Supplies

October 11, 2017;

Five men and two women Tibetan villagers in Choeje and Oje townships in Tsolho Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture have been detained in connection with the unauthorised resale of gasoline. Villagers travel 30 miles to buy gasoline needed for farm machinery and transport as none is available locally; some buy more than needed for their own requirements and resell small amounts to fellow villagers.
