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.

Blogger Arrested

December 29, 2014;

Soepa, 21, a Tibetan writer and blogger, was arrested on a bus near his native Meruma township in Ngaba County. It is assumed his arrest is linked to articles and essays published on his blog: a recent post pays tribute to Tsepey who self-immolated last week. Soepa is a creative writing student at the Northwest University for Nationalities in Lanzhou, and has organised debates on freedom of speech during vacations.
