On Wednesday, the mural depicting a UK judge striking a protester was removed from a wall in London’s court district. The artwork, known as “Silent Protest,” is believed to be a response to the ongoing political tensions surrounding the Palestine Action group. Authorities responded to demonstrations held earlier in the week, which prompted the mural’s removal. The artwork’s purpose appears to be a symbolic statement regarding the government’s actions and its perceived impact on protesters. The removal occurred following a petition demanding the artwork’s removal, which the government deemed a violation of public space.
