On July 27th, a spokesman for the University of Melbourne said that this kind of incident was not the first time on campus, and there have been several similar incidents occasionally in recent years. Whenever such incidents occur, the school will notify the police station at the first time and provide them with materials related to the perpetrators, such as images in campus surveillance videos. As for a series of chase actions after that, the police will make a decision.
The spokesman said that less than an hour after the poster was discovered, the Victoria Police Department received a report from the school. The police have mastered the relevant information of the gang involved.
The head of the media and communication department of the Victoria Police Department in Australia said on the 26th that the police had asked witnesses or people who were discriminated against by race or religion to inform the police immediately. Freton also said, "The police will not allow any incitement to hatred and violence."
The police have not announced who or which organization is responsible for the incident, but there is evidence that the incident is suspected to be related to a far-right organization that advocates "white supremacy." The website of an organization called "Australian Resistance" appeared on the back of the poster insulting China, and the poster picture insulting China also appeared on the website of the organization.
It is reported that the organization openly promotes racial discrimination and claims to establish a "white Australia". Since 20 16, the organization has organized racist posters and other activities in many cities in Australia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China expressed the hope that relevant Australian authorities would properly handle this matter as soon as possible, and earnestly safeguard the personal safety, dignity and legitimate rights and interests of China students studying in Australia.
I hope this will not happen again.
