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 Gyatso, 24, a monk who self-immolated five years ago in Sichuan has been released after serving his full prison term. He staged his protest in February 2012 in Ngaba; he survived but was taken into custody and beaten. Radio Free Asia reports a local source as saying he had been “subjected to extreme torture and harassment”. There is no news of Gyatso’s health at the moment.
