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.
Lebanon has scrapped Article 522 of the penal code – a law which allowed rapists exemption from punishment if they married their victim. Women’s rights activists been long campaigning for this repeal, supported by the Minister for Women’s Affairs. Similar legislation has recently been stopped in Tunisia and Jordan but remains in Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya and Syria.
