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.

Statue Removed

April 10, 2015;

The statue of British colonialist Cecil Rhodes has been removed from South Africa’s University of Cape Town after becoming the focus of protests. Protesters cheered as the statue was removed; they have also targeted other monuments to colonial-era leaders. This is seen as a victory for black South Africans who are unsatisfied with education and job opportunities more than 20 years after the end of apartheid.
