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.
Argya Gya, a former monk at Kirti Monastery in Sichaun’s Ngaba County, has been imprisoned for his involvement in a WeChat group which celebrated last year’s 80th birthday of HH the Dalai Lama. He is the second Tibetan to be arrested because of this group: a monk named Lodroe has also been imprisoned. Gya has previously served a three year sentence in connection with self-immolation in 2011.
