China-watchers from around the world have signed a petition to demand greater protection for a New Zealand academic Anne-Marie Brady who said she was harassed and home and office were burglarized simply for doing her job.
At least 169 supporters are “alarmed and appalled” to hear about the alleged harassment of Brady, who believes the acts could be a form of retaliation for her critical research on China’s politics. In an open letter, signatories called on New Zealand authorities to protect Brady, noting her requests for police protection has been ignored for more than four months.
