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, a popular Tibetan singer from Machu County in his early 40s, has been released from prison after a four year sentence. Photos circulated on social media showed fellow Tibetans welcoming him home with traditional scarves. There are no details about his health. Yarphel was arrested in 2013 for organising a music concert promoting unity, as well as urging Tibetans to speak and write in their own language.
