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.

Ursula Gauthier, a French journalist with the French news magazine L’Obs, has been refused a renewal of her Chinese press visa. She wrote an article that was critical of Beijing’s policy towards Muslim Uighers in Xinjiang and Chinese authorities accuse her of supporting “terrorism and cruel acts” that have killed people. Ms Gauthier was active in covering the uprisings in Tibet at the time of the 2008 Olympics.
