CUHK’s Goddess of Democracy and a sculpture at Lingnan University were removed overnight as authorities pursue the erasure of memory of massacre
Two more Hong Kong universities have removed sculptures marking Beijing’s deadly 1989 crackdown on Tiananmen Square democracy protesters, as authorities move to erase memorials to the event.
The removals come a day after Hong Kong’s oldest university took down a statue named the Pillar of Shame, commemorating the events of 1989, sparking outcry by activists and dissident artists in the city and abroad.
