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.
Joleb Dawa, 41, editor of Dus-rab kyi nga (This Century’s Self), who was jailed in 2010, has been released after completing his three year sentence. From Tibet’s Ngaba region, Dawa was held in Mianyang prison near Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan. Though the exact charges against him are not known, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said he was jailed on “trumped up charges of separatism.”
