A monument at the University of Hong Kong which marks the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre has been removed.
Depicting a heap of anguished human torsos, the famous statue commemorated pro-democracy protesters killed during a crackdown by Chinese authorities – and stood for more than two decades.
In a statement, the Council of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) said it decided to remove it during a Wednesday meeting, “based on external legal advice and risk assessment for the best interest of the University”.
