On May 5, The National Security Bureau of the Hong Kong Police seized the Pillar of Shame (June 4 memorial statue), a sculpture created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt, claiming the sculpture to be related to a national security case of “inciting others to subvert state power.”
Jens Galschiøt, owner and creator of the Pillar of Shame, called the event crazy and outrageous. He affirmed that the symbolic language of art could never be crushed and would only get stronger when attacked.
