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 one of 21 monks from Drepung Monastery who staged the first significant pro-independence demonstration in 1987. Following his release he has spent his life working for the human rights for Tibetans and was one of the “Group of Ten” non-violent political activists.
