Tiananmen Square memorial statue removed in Hong Kong


A famous statue at the University of Hong Kong marking the Tiananmen Square massacre was removed late Wednesday.

The Pillar of Shame statue displays corpses piled up in memory of pro-democracy protesters killed by the Chinese government in 1989.

It is one of the few remaining public memorials in Hong Kong to commemorate the incident, which is a very sensitive subject in China.

Its removal comes as Beijing increasingly suppresses political dissent in Hong Kong.
