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.
Gonpo Tenzin, a popular Tibetan singer from Shakchu Township in Driru County in the Nagchu Prefecture in Tibet was sentenced to three and a half years in prison last month, but news is only emerging now because of the communications crackdown there. He was arrested in November 2013 for his song Where is the new year in Tibet which praises Tibetan culture, and has been tortured during his detention.
