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.
Gatruk Dorje, a monk from Beri monastery in Kardze, has been released from prison after serving six of his eight-year sentence. Dorje was jailed for setting fire to a bridge to prevent Chinese security forces from approaching Beri monastery, of placing nail-studded wooden boards on a road to stop Chinese vehicles carrying police and paramilitary forces, and of distributing protest fliers, all as part of the 2008 protests.
