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.
Atruk Lopo, a monk who has served ten years in Mianyang prison, has been freed. He is the former chant master from Lithang Monastery in Kardze and was arrested in 2007 for spreading news about a protest calling for Tibetan freedom, and for calling for the release of his uncle Ronggye Adrak who had been detained on similar charges. He was warned not to speak in public following his release.
