Australian Open reversed Peng Shuai T-shirt ban after public outcry

After a worldwide outcry, the Australian Open organizers on Monday, Jan. 24, lifted a ban on T-shirts supporting Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai.
Last Friday, Jan. 21, security asked spectators to remove T-shirts and a banner that said "Where is Peng Shuai?" before entering the grounds.

Peng Shuai accused former Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Gaoli of sexually assaulting her in a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo in November.

Afterward, she suddenly vanished from public view, causing widespread worry among the worldwide tennis community, fans, and human rights organizations.
