Rights Groups demand proof of tennis star Peng Shuai's whereabouts

Human Lives Human Rights: There have been a growing chorus of calls from Rights Groups demanding China  to provide proof of Peng Shuai’s whereabouts after the tennis star went missing after accusing a top Chinese official of sexual assault.

Rights organizations are deeply concerned by Peng’s reported disappearance, and are imploring Beijing to provide independent and verifiable proof of her whereabouts and that she is safe.

Background:

Peng accused former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of forcing her to have sex with him three years ago in a since-deleted social media post on Nov. 2. Zhang, 75, served as one of the seven members of the most powerful body of the Chinese Communist Party, the Politburo Standing Committee. He retired in 2018.

Chinese state broadcaster CGTN published an e-mail on Wednesday purported to have been penned by Peng, saying she was “fine” and “resting at home.” The letter also said that the previous allegation of sexual assault was “not true.” But rather than tamp down calls for confirmation of Peng’s well-being, the alleged email has been cause for more concern about her safety.

Steve Simon, President, and CEO of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) responded in a statement saying that the letter “raises my concerns about her whereabouts or whether she has been kept safe.”

The UN has also demanded China provide proof on her whereabouts.

Peng, who won the 2013 Wimbledon and 2014 French Open titles in doubles, rose to 14th place in the singles classification and reached the semi-finals of the 2014 US Open.

It must be noted that the People’s Republic of China has zero tolerance for criticism, and a record of silencing those that speak out.
