Hong Kong Picture Moment : Pillar of Shame painted orange

A student paints the sculpture “Pillar of Shame” orange during a demonstration by pressure group the Hong Kong Alliance.

Supporting the Patriotic Democratic Movement of China, the group expressed its human-rights concerns at the University of Hong Kong on April 30, 2008.

The sculpture, designed by Danish artist Jens Galschiot, was created to symbolise those who died in the government crackdown in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
