A statue of Belgian King Leopold II was removed from a public square in the city of Antwerp on Tuesday. Local authorities are mulling whether to transfer the monument to a museum after its restoration due to damage over the past years, likely inflicted due to the monarch being widely associated with the cruelty of colonialism on indigenous populations.
