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.
Kelsang Khedrup, a Tibetan political prisoner, was released on January 5 after completing his seven year sentence in Mianyang prison in Sichuan. He was arrested in 2009 for “inciting ethnic division” and “disrupting peace” and held incommunicado for a year. His sister has said he contracted asthma while in detention. Kelsang is originally from Rabkar Township in Kardze; he has been reunited with his wife and two children.
