At least two petitions were launched to remove all statues in honor of the colonial-era monarch due to historical atrocities committed in his name in his former colony Congo, reports state. The petitions to remove the monuments were launched amidst worldwide anti-racist protests following the death of George Floyd, a black US citizen who died after a white policeman kneeled on his neck for several minutes, reports state.
