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.
Kalsang Tsering, a former Tibetan political prisoner, has been flown from Lhasa to Sichuan for medical treatment. He was imprisoned for seven years for taking part in March 2008 Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule and released last year. During his term in prison, he sustained a large open wound on his back, a result of continuous torture while in detention. Sources say there is very little hope for his recovery.
