A effigy of George Floyd has been vandalized by a white supremacy group just five days after the statue was unveiled.

The effigy was unveiled on Juneteenth, now a federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Most of the effigy had been spray-painted black, and an URL had been stenciled on the statue’s bust. The URL is that of a website linked to the Patriot Group, a white supremacy organization listed as a hate group in the States.

The same group is thought to be responsible for a similar act of vandalism on a George Floyd mural earlier this month.
