Petitions for removal of Colonial King statues

epa08476625 A statue of former Belgian King Leopold II sprayed with paint is seen at the park of the Africa Museum, in Tervuren, near Brussels, Belgium, 10 June 2020. 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.
