Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

Wangchuk Released

Pasang Wangchuk, 37, also known as Ngodru, a businessman and father of three, who was detained last month in China’s Sichuan province for launching a solitary protest has been freed after being interrogated over the slogans he wrote on his protest banner. It is not known whether he was beaten or tortured—a punishment most detained Tibetan protesters say they undergo, and it is not known why he was freed.
