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 suffered severe beatings during his five year prison term and has been in poor health since his release. The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy has called for an investigation and the prosecution of those who tortured him.
