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.
Lobsang, 23, a Tibetan monk in southwestern China’s Sichuan province, has been sentenced to three years in prison after a trial held in secret and without his family being informed. He staged a solitary protest last September in Ngaba county opposing Beijing’s rule in Tibetan areas, and has been tortured and beaten during ten months of detention. His family is very concerned about his health.
