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.

Detained on Suspicion

December 25, 2013;

Three Tibetans; Bumchok, a 16-year boy, and two women, Choedon, 16, and Yangchen, 27, were detained on suspicion of burning the Chinese flag in Driru County. The situation in Driru has now gone “from bad to worse,” a source said. “Tibetans as young as 10 or 12 are now being detained and beaten in attempts to force them to confess to anti-state activities.”
