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.
Despite Chinese authorities trumpeting their success over COVID-19 in Tibet, major religious sites in and near Lhasa remain closed. One resident, speaking on condition of anonymity, observed that though “schools in Lhasa reopened weeks ago, and Tibet University in Lhasa reopened on April 26… the Jokhang temple, the Norbulingka, and the three main monasteries of Lhasa have still not opened to the public”.
