HONG KONG—A statue in Hong Kong commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, one of the more potent symbols of the city’s pro-democracy movement, was seized by police on Friday, the sculptor said.
The statue, “Pillar of Shame,” is a 26-foot-tall depiction of piled bodies signifying those killed during the Tiananmen crackdown. It had been on display at the University of Hong Kong since the late 1990s before it was removed in 2021.
