Banksy Mural Scrubbed: Royal Courts of Justice Erases Controversial Artwork
A Banksy mural, depicting a protester and a judge, was removed from the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The artwork, confirmed by Banksy, appeared on a listed building, necessitating its removal by the HM Courts & Tribunals Service. The piece, interpreted as a commentary on arrests related to Palestine Action, aligns with Banksy’s history of politically charged street art. This follows the Lady Chief Justice’s concerns for judge safety and the mural’s initial reporting as criminal damage.
