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.
Chinese soldiers have recounted People’s Liberation Army (PLA) atrocities in Tibet. Speaking anonymously one soldier from Shandong described how in 2011 he was part of a unit ordered to quash a protest by Tibetan monks where the PLA “killed everyone who tried to protest”. Another veteran from northeast China described how in 2008, during efforts to put down a “riot” in Lhasa, he was “given explicit orders to kill… Tibetans”.
