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.
Tsewang Norbu, 40, was arrested while on a pilgrimage to Lhasa reports Tibet Watch, the UK based research and advocacy group. He had demanded that pilgrims like himself be given priority to visit the sacred Potala Palace as he had been waiting for over a week to visit; Chinese tourists are given priority in the queues. Following his arrest, surveillance of Tibetans waiting to visit the palace was increased.
