China Scholars Demand Protection For Threatened New Zealand Academic
Scholar Anne-Marie Brady says she has experienced harassment and interference often while conducting research in China, but over the past year, Brady says, for the first time, she has been the victim of intimidation in her home country of New Zealand.
Brady, a professor at New Zealand’s University of Canterbury, says her home and office have been broken into; she has received a letter warning her of an attack against her; and her car has been tampered with.
This week more than 220 scholars and journalists have signed a letter in support for Brady, urging the New Zealand government to offer her protection.
