Sydney student reports transnational repression

Examples
Date

An international student in Sydney, Australia, who has participated in demonstrations criticising the Chinese Community Party reports that his parents in China have been threatened by police and that the social media accounts he uses to communicate with friends and family back home have been abruptly banned. Amnesty International finds that this transnational repression is part of a pattern that spans Europe, the US, and Canada. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman calls the Amnesty report "smear and vilification".
