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.
Yeshe Thubten, a Tibetan monk from Phenpo Nalanda monastery who spent five years in jail in Tibet for opposing Chinese propaganda campaigns, has died in Tibet after suffering many years of ill health following his release from prison in 2000. Radio Free Asia reports that his family is under “close surveillance” and that further information is not available due to the communications clampdown in place in Tibet.
