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.
Rigzin Choenyi, 79, a former Tibetan political prisoner, has died in McLeod Ganj following a long illness. He was born in Gyaltse county and joined the Tibetan voluntary freedom army to resist the Chinese communist army’s invasion of Tibet. He was caught, imprisoned and tortured for at least 21 years and then put under surveillance following his release in 1980. He has lived in India since leaving Tibet in 1993.
