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.

He was detained in 2010 following a solitary protest in front of the Jokhang temple in Lhasa, and served a five year sentence. He was also detained in 2009 after a trip to India, accused of having brought back books written by the Dalai Lama.
