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.
Kalsang Yarphel, 39, a popular Tibetan singer arrested last year for singing political anti-Chinese songs, has been sentenced to four years in prison by a court in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province. His producer Pema Rinzin and two other associates were also sentenced. UK-based Free Tibet has launched a petition urging China to free all Tibetan performers in custody which has won support from musicians in the West.
