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.

Doctor Freed

January 26, 2017;

Khedrup, 50, a Tibetan doctor who has been held by police since December 14, has been released. He was detained on suspicion of sharing pictures and videos online of the self-immolation protest by Tashi Rabten on December 8, but has been released as the authorities could find no evidence against him; they warned not to discuss his period in detention. He was beaten and tortured in prison.
