Anastasia Lin

Former Miss World Canada and human rights advocate Anastasia Lin told the panel how she was labelled “persona non-grata” (a person who is not welcome) by the CCP in 2015 because she had spoken out about its widespread human rights abuses. She also recounted how, on many occasions, debates or talks that had been arranged for her to attend would be cancelled. This included one recent cancellation of a live program “The World” by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in June this year.
