(TW: Sexual assault)
Tennis star Peng Shuai said former Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli sexually assaulted her in 2017.
She has not been seen or heard from since, and her accusation was scrubbed from Chinese social media.
Here's what's going on. 👇

@jnyairo@bandeso Peng Shuai😢, so happy to see the UN, white house, WTA and all other big players weighing in on this. I hope the Chinese govt will do the right thing 😔
Congratulations to our new @OpenSociety Global Leadership colleagues @maryftz, Emily & @gmaniatis & our very own @TamukaKagoro77. Brian's appointment as Global Director for Justice makes me especially proud & excited. Watch this space! 2030 tinenge tiripo.
@bandeso@jnyairo I mean we know Russia is a strong competitor, US has a fighting chance, Italy and Spain are strong too, Serbia over relies on Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic shares the PTPA’s statement about Peng Shuai:
“We must unite and be willing to take action unless corroborated evidence is provided to the work about Peng’s wellbeing”
#WhereIsPengShuai
I am devastated and shocked to hear about the news of my peer, Peng Shuai. I hope she is safe and found as soon as possible. This must be investigated and we must not stay silent. Sending love to her and her family during this incredibly difficult time. #whereispengshuai
Watching tragic events on Belarus-Poland border, and reflecting on last night’s ZA-ZW convo, (if that is what we call convos these days). One thing any one of us should always remember is, we’re always one step away from becoming a refugee. Of whatever sort.
Be kind.
Yes i need us to guard against these clowns and chancers thinking they can lead us. I am aware these are hard and desperate times but we need to remain vigilant.
