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.

Injured Tibetan Released

November 4, 2013;

Yonten Sangpo has just been released from jail in poor health, after spending more than a year there without a trial. He was shot and wounded in early February 2012 by the Chinese police as they raided his home looking for the leaders of a protest held a month earlier in Draggo. His two brothers were killed in the raid and his mother and children wounded. He sustains gunshot wounds to the jaw and to the spine that make talking and walking difficult.
