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.
Thupten Tsundue, a Tibetan monk from Amdo, Tso Ngon or the Qinghai province, was released on July 17 after serving three years in a Chinese prison. People in his town welcomed and greeted him with auspicious Tibetan scarves. In 2013 he was arrested without his family or a lawyer’s presence. Chinese officials accused him of organising prayers and showing support for Wangchen Norbu, who self-immolated on November 19, 2012.
