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.
Gomar Choephel, 48, a Tibetan monk, has been released from jail where he served two years for “subverting the state” when he was found in possession of a picture of HH the Dalai Lama. He was released from the Ho Min Xian prison in Qinghai and has returned to Rongwo Monastery in Rebgong. He has restrictions placed on his movements and no “welcome home” reception was allowed.
