Geneva: The United Nations said on Friday it wants evidence of the existence of Chinese Tennis Star Peng Shuai, missing since he made allegations of sexual violence against former representative premier.
The UN Human Rights Office called for a fully transparent investigation into the former Claim of the Doubles Grand Slam champion against Zhang Gaoli.
“It is important to have evidence of its existence and welfare and we will encourage that there is an investigation with full transparency to the allegations of his sexual violence,” Liz Throssell, a spokesman for the UN office Rights Michelle Bachelet, told reporters in Geneva.
“According to information available, Peng, the former world doubled number one, has not been heard from the public because he accused social media that he had been sexually attacked.” We will emphasize that it is important to know where he is and his state.
, know about his welfare.
“We think it will be important that there is an investigation into his accusation.” Peng, 35, former Double Champion of the former Wimbledon and France, accused on the Chinese social media site Weibo earlier this month that former Premier Zhang’s representative had “forced” to be sex during a long-term on-off relationship.
The claim was quickly rubbed from the platform like Twitter and he had not been seen since then, drawing a blackout of concerns over his welfare.
Throssell said it was often very difficult for victims of sexual violence to advance on their charges.
“Sexual assault is found in every society,” he said.
“With regard to Peng Shuai, we call for an investigation with full transparency into alleged sexual violence.” It must be a case in all allegations of sexual violence.
It is very important to ensure accountability and justice for the victims, people who suffer from terrible trauma.
“Very often a challenge for them to advance and make this accusation public.”
