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 Sonam, a writer (pen name Gangpel Bodpa) has been released after serving over nine years of his ten and half years prison sentence. He was jailed in 2006 for “separatist behavior” – divulging state secrets to outsiders including “separatist forces” in exile, and for helping a political prisoner smuggle a letter to the United Nations out of prison.
