A Hong Kong university orders the removal of a memorial to the Tiananmen massacre

The Pillar of Shame statue, a memorial for those killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown in Beijing, is displayed at the University of Hong Kong on Wednesday.

Activists see the order to remove the Pillar of Shame as the latest sign of Beijing's suppression of Hong Kong. It's reportedly the only major memorial to the massacre still standing on Chinese soil.
