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.
Two Tibetans have been released from prison on completion of their sentences for “inciting separatism”. Namkha Jam from Changya Village in Rebgong County in Qinghai Province was released on August 10 after his six-year term for sharing information and pictures of self-immolations and Gonpo Tseten, 40, was released one and half years early for good behaviour. He got 12 years for his part in the 2008 uprising.
