On 19 Feb 2018 around 5 pm, three agents hired by Monash University and/or Australian Government Authority came to Chen’s place in Beijing. One of them shouted outside the safety door: “We are Australian overseas police, you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent …..” and attempting to break the safety door.

After about 20 minutes, Chen walked out to video the harassers. Taking the opportunity, the hired agents attacked her, she then withdrew to her unit and stayed inside for her safety. The three men continued shouting “Shut up!“, threatening her outside the safety door. The whole event lasted for about one and half an hour, during which they violently attempted to break the safety door:
Before leaving, they threatened Chen to her life “This is the last warning. Next time we’ll shoot.”
This attack is a desperate attempt to hush the victim, cover the truth and avoid accountability for what they did in Qizhi Chen vs Monash University case. It is an extraordinary phenomenon for a state to attack an individual in overseas like this. After all the Victim has been through, most people would have lost their sanity. But Qizhi Chen remains defiant, all they have done has unleashed within her an extra impetus.
