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.
Rongwo Gendun Lhundup, 48, also known as Lhamkok, a prominent Tibetan monk and writer, was sentenced last December to a four-year prison term on a charge of “inciting separatism” reports the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy. He was detained in November 2020 from Rongwo Monastery in Rebkong, Amdo [Ch: Qinghai]; news of Gendun has only emerged now due to the communications crackdown.
