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.
Lobsang Yeshi, 64, a Tibetan political prisoner, has died in hospital in Lhasa. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment two months ago. The Chinese authorities have refused to hand over his body to his family. Lobsang was arrested last year after taking part in peaceful demonstrations. The Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy has demanded an inquiry into his death in custody.
