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.
Lakyab, 25, has been released from prison in northwestern China’s Gansu province. He was jailed in 2008 for attempting to burn down the Tserima township government building and the local police station, as well as challenging Beijing’s rule in Tibetan areas, and is said to have been released because of a lung condition which has developed as the result of beatings and torture while in detention.
