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.
It has emerged that, ahead of March 10’s Tibetan Uprising Day, the Chinese ambassador wrote to “the government of the [Swiss] canton Vaud asking it to call on… municipalities to desist from raising flags and other demonstrations of solidarity” with Tibet. Though the request was passed on to local governments in Vaud “nine municipalities went ahead regardless and raised the Tibetan flag on March 10, while one desisted”.
