The European Union has been the last institution to pronounce on the case of Peng Shuai after the complaint he made on the Chinese social network Weibo in which she accused former Vice President Zhang Gaoli of having sexually assaulted her.
From the European Union they ask for “verified evidence” that Peng is safe and sound after having been disappeared in the days after the complaint until on the 21st he was able to hold a videoconference with the IOC managers.
A talk to which the European Union does not give excessive credibility, as the WTA has already stated. “His recent public appearance has not diminished our concern for his safety and freedom,” ensures the agency through its spokespersons.
The European Union also calls for a fair and transparent investigation into Peng’s sexual assault complaint. “The European Union joins the international demands and those of professional athletes to ensure that she is free and not under threat. The European Union asks for truthful evidence about Peng’s safety and well-being. The European Union also urges China to conduct a full, fair and transparent investigation into its allegations of sexual assault. “
