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.
Phuntsok, a detainee believed to be in his 50s, has been moved to an emergency care facility in the provincial capital Xining under armed guard, suffering from severe problems with his stomach. He is one of three nonmonastic tantric practitioners, or ngakpas, who were taken into custody following the self-immolation of Damchoe Sangpo, a monk at the Bongtak monastery in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in 2012.
