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.
Kunme, a Tibetan man who has been held in Sichuan’s Mianyang prison for three years, has been released. He was one of 20 people who were detained in December 2013 for trying to prevent the security forces from removing Konchog Tseten, a severely burned self-immolation protestor, away from the site of his protest. Kunme was tortured during his first year in prison and convicted of homicide.
