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.
Chinese authorities have released a second Tibetan political prisoner two years before the completion of his term. Dawa Gyaltsen, in his late 40s, was sentenced to 18 years in 1997. He was brutally tortured in prison and is now in a weak condition. He was charged with ‘inciting counter-revolutionary propaganda” and labeled as a ‘ringleader’.
