Do forks go away together with the original repository when it's removed from Github?

In this case it seems so, someone just uploaded the codebase again (archived): https://github.com/emmauss/Ryujinx

Edit: I guess I'm wrong, see reply

If a repository is removed by Github in response to a DMCA request, yes.

(But it's not clear that that's what happened here.)

Depends on which type of removal they do, but they can be yes.
