Hong Kong Police Seize Tiananmen Square Statue in Subversion Probe
Hong Kong police seized the "Pillar of Shame" statue, a 26-foot-tall sculpture commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, which had been on display at the University of Hong Kong since the late 1990s. The statue is a potent symbol of the city's pro-democracy movement and had been removed in 2021.
