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.

Joshua Wong, 20, the Hong Kong activist who was one of the instigators of the 2014 “Umbrella” pro democracy protests, has been jailed for six months. Last year he was found guilty of unlawful assembly and sentenced to community service but the Hong Kong government appealed against the sentence as too lenient. His prison sentence precludes him from standing for local elections for five years.
