Uncertainty remains over a permanent home for the Pillar of Shame after it is displayed at Victoria Park for the 10th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre tomorrow.
The University of Hong Kong, which has been its temporary home since last December, has yet to grant it a permanent site, despite students voting overwhelming for a permanent site on campus.
The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of the Patriotic Democratic Movement in China erected the sculpture in Victoria Park yesterday.
Alliance committee member Leung Kwok-wah: 'The statue is erected to remind people of the pro-democracy movement which happened 10 years ago.' After the candlelight vigil tomorrow night, the two-tonne, eight-metre Pillar of Shame - created by Danish sculptor Jens Galschiot - will be sent back to the university until its future is decided.
Mr Leung said: 'The students have shown their willingness to place the statue permanently.' However, the student union said the issue had yet to be resolved with the university.
