Fans at the Australian Open were asked by security to remove T-shirts which featured the slogan "Where is Peng Shuai?" on Saturday.
A video shared to social media appeared to show officers confiscating the clothing, which referenced the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the well-being and whereabouts of the Chinese star who had accused a top Chinese leader of sexual assault.
In late 2021, Peng's comments and subsequent disappearance from the public eye prompted a chorus of global concern from both inside and outside the tennis world. The Biden administration and United Nations human rights office have joined the calls for Beijing to provide proof of Peng’s well-being.
