"Pillar Of Shame" Statue Faces Threats Of Removal At HK University

HONG KONG, CHINA - OCTOBER 15: A visitor takes photos of the "Pillar of Shame" statue at the Hong Kong University campus on October 15, 2021 in Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong University demanded that a now-disbanded pro-democracy alliance remove the artwork, an eight-metre tall monument to the Tiananmen Square Massacre by Danish artist Jens Glaschiot, after it has stood on the grounds of the campus for 24 years, local news sources reported. The statue is an iconic art piece, one of several by the artist placed around the world commemorating similar events. (Photo by Louise Delmotte/Getty Images)
