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.

Early Release

December 28, 2013;

Three Tibetans have been released before completion of their jail sentences in what appears to be an implementation of Chinese president Xi Ji Ping’s prison reforms. They were released from prisons that China has recently shut down. Yarphel, 42, a monk from a monastery in Rebkong, Lhamo, 22, from Khyinga town, and Rinchen Tsering from Chone County have all been released. Yarphel and Lhamo had been arrested following alleged involvement in self-immolations, and Rinchen for flying the Tibetan flag.
