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.
Tseten Gyal, 28, was freed following completion of his three-year term of hard labour. He was held in northwest China’s Qinghai province for taking part in protests challenging Chinese rule in Tibetan areas. He was detained in March 2012 when protesting with the monks of Ba Shingtri monastery. His family and friends have been “strictly forbidden from contacting the outside world” to discuss his release.
