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.

Songs of Praise

A new loyalty campaign has been launched in the formerly independent Himalayan region of Tibet, reports Radio Free Asia. People living there are required to learn songs praising the ruling Chinese Communist Party and are expected to perform them at an upcoming national holiday on July 1, the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921. Fines are threatened for people refusing to comply.
