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.
Chinese authorities in Tibet have forced people to pay homage to the person China has appointed as the Panchen Lama – a figure widely despised by Tibetans as a puppet of Beijing. He visited monasteries in Namling in the Shigatse prefecture, accompanied by armed police and public security officers. 12 villages were each ordered to send 80 people to give him a traditional Tibetan welcome.
