Exclusive: The Australian government has been urged to take stronger action to protect overseas students from political repression
The Australian government has been urged to take stronger action to protect Chinese international students from political repression by authorities on their return after a Chinese student was allegedly sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for joining pro-democracy protests in Australia.
The student, who the Guardian has chosen not to name, lost contact with his friends in Sydney after returning to China in December 2024.
