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 Tibetan activists have been freed from prison. Rinchen Samdup is an environmentalist who organised villagers to plant trees and report poaching, he has served five years. Gyaltsen, a monk, was freed after serving two years for participating in a protest by thousands of Tibetans against China’s “repressive” policies. About 20 monks from his Ba Shetri Monastery who were arrested with him are still in prison.
