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.

Activists Acquitted – UPDATED

November 24, 2022;

Three activists, Tibetan Tsela Zoksang, Joey Siu from Hong Kong and a third, Vietnamese-American activist who were charged following their protest last year at the Acropolis in Athens against the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, have been acquitted of all charges by a Greek court. The Guardian has hailed this as a “landmark decision” and a “victory for human rights defenders globally”. Three other activists, Chemi Lhamo, Jason Leith of Free Tibet and Fern MacDougal, are still facing trial next week for their protest at the torch-lighting ceremony.
