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, 46, a political prisoner in Qinghai province, has been freed, but his supporters have been ordered not to publicly celebrate his release and threatened with severe penalties if caught filming images of his return. Gyatso had served six of his seven year prison sentence for taking part in a protest in 2009. A heavy police presence prevented the “grand reception” which had been planned for him.
