A statue of Belgian General Emile Storms is seen covered in red paint in Brussels, Belgium on June 14, 2020. The statue of the Belgian General has been partly dyed in red in a protest against racism. Storms was a general in the army of King Leopold II, who is believed to be responsible for the death of millions of people in the Belgian colony of Congo Free State between 1885 and 1908.
