Replica of Hong Kong's 'Pillar of Shame' unveiled in Norway
For almost 25 years, the soaring "Pillar of Shame" stood on the University of Hong Kong (HKU) campus to honor victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. The school's controversial decision to pull the statue down last December signaled a major blow to freedom of expression in the city -- one of the few places on Chinese soil where memorials to Beijing's bloody crackdown were still tolerated.
