COPENHAGEN. – Unknown vandals have scrawled “Free Hong Kong” on Denmark’s most famous landmark, “The Little Mermaid,” a bronze statue that is especially popular with Chinese tourists.
The 107-year-old sculpture, which depicts the little mermaid from 19th-century Danish author Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of the same name, is perched on a rock by a waterside promenade.
More than one million tourists visit the Little Mermaid every year and it has been defaced and damaged several times, twice suffering decapitation.
