Three of Canada's professional tennis players have publicly supported the efforts to find missing Chinese star Peng Shuai.

Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., and Vancouver's Rebecca Marino and Vasek Pospisil tweeted about Peng on Friday, using the hashtag “#WhereIsPengShuai.”

China's Foreign Ministry said Friday that it wasn't aware of the controversy surrounding Peng, who disappeared after accusing a former top official of sexually assaulting her. The 35-year-old former top-ranked player in women's doubles won titles at Wimbledon in 2013 and the French Open in 2014. Tennis Canada issued a statement on Friday saying that along with the rest of the tennis world it has deep concerns for Peng's health and security. It also called for independent and indisputable proof that Peng is safe.

“Over the past many months, we have been having conversations with partners and allies around the world about the Beijing Olympics, about what our approach should be,” said Trudeau as he wrapped up a two-day visit to Washington. Liz Throssell, a spokeswoman for the U.N. human rights office in Geneva, said Friday it was calling for “an investigation with full transparency into her allegation of sexual assault.”
