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.
Britain initially denied the dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei a six-month visa, claiming that he lied on his visa application form. Ai did not declare a “criminal conviction” because although he was detained in China for 81 days he was never charged or convicted of a crime. Britain granted him a 20-day visa to attend the opening of his London show but then apologised and issued the six-month visa.
