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.

Monks at Sera Monastery in Lhasa, Tibet, have been ordered to “stand against separatism” and strictly follow Chinese laws. Lhakpa Tsering, a Tibetan official working for the Chinese administration in Tibet, announced the new directive at a press conference. Monks have been told to “repay China’s generosity” in Tibet with loyalty to Beijing and to “watch their behaviour online”, especially on social media platforms WeChat and Weibo.
