Danish sculptor Jens Galschiøt, whose "Pillar of Shame" statue was seized by Hong Kong authorities, said that police are harassing the relatives of people who work with him overseas. Galschiøt also stated that some European artists and politicians are hesitant to visit Hong Kong due to the current crackdown on dissent. He expressed a desire to retrieve his artwork but believes it is currently impossible due to the aggressive stance of the Hong Kong government. Galschiøt blames mainland China's influence for the changes in Hong Kong and the deteriorating situation for artists and activists.
