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.
Lobsang Konchok, a Tibetan monk jailed following his self-immolation protest in September 2011, has been released after serving his full sentence. Konchok, from Kirti Monastery in Ngaba, lost a leg from his burns and is reported as being subjected to torture while in prison. His family were not informed of his release; he is not allowed to visit and was released in a remote nomadic area far from home.
