The Chinese regime erases everything that reminds one of Beijing’s crimes – also in Hong Kong.
A democracy monument was removed from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) on Thursday night: The “goddess of democracy” was modeled on a statue that demonstrators held on March 3rd and 4th. Demonstrated for freedom in Beijing’s Tian’anmen Square on June 6th, 1989.

The Chinese regime brutally destroyed the demonstration with tanks in 1989, killing up to 2,600 people.
Since then, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has tried to suppress and erase any memory of the massacre – most recently it even became an episode of the popular US animated series “Simpsons” censored in Chinathat made the massacre its content.
► The “Goddess of Democracy” statue is just one of three monuments at Hong Kong universities that have been removed in the past few days. Previously, the “Pillar of Shame” (in German: Pillar of Shame) at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) was removed in a night-and-fog operation by the security authorities.

The victims of the massacre were commemorated with the “Pillar of Shame”: The eight meter high installation by a Danish artist shows screaming faces and torn bodies, including the inscription: “The old cannot kill the young forever.”
