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.
Palden Gyatso, the 85 year old former Tibetan political prisoner, is reported by Phayul as being in very poor health. Gyatso spent 33 years in Chinese prison and concentration camps after his arrest in 1959 for his protests during the Chinese invasion of Tibet. On his release in 1992 he escaped from Tibet and has since been a vocal spokesperson about conditions there.
