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.
Today marks three years since Tibetan language advocate Tashi Wangchuk was jailed. He was sentenced to five years in prison on May 2 last year, accused of “separatism” after appearing in a New York Times video speaking about the importance of protecting Tibetans’ “mother tongue”. His detention has attracted worldwide condemnation, meanwhile Tashi is consistently denied access to his lawyer.
