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.
Nearly 70 Tibetans were taken into custody by armed police following clashes over voting in local elections in Kyangchu village in Golog, Gade county in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The Tibetans voted for Samdrak, a Tibetan with a good track record of serving the local people, and not the state-backed candidates. All were later released except for three: Tenpa Gyal, Nyatri, and Samdrak, who are still in custody.
