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.

New Campaign

August 13, 2016;

Free Tibet, the United Kingdom-based pressure group, has launched its Grand Theft Tibet campaign aimed at stopping London’s transport authority from buying more buses from the Chinese company BYD. BYD, which operates in Tibet, produces electric vehicles and the lithium batteries needed to run them. Tibet has large reserves of lithium and its extraction is causing environmental damage in Tibet with no benefit to resident Tibetans there.
