The Australian director of Human Rights Watch called for the United Nations to establish a special envoy to investigate the deterioration of human rights in Hong Kong in the article.

UNSW removed the article from their website.

Student Cameron told Ben Fordham it’s a consistent issue.

“What happened was academic censorship.

“There needs to be a deep investigation into what’s going on behind the scenes.”
