The statue of Captain Cook again vandalized before the controversial Australia Day | NEWS FOR RIGHT RIGHTS

A statue of the British researcher is sprayed with red paint and vandalized in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

A statue of Captain James Cook in the eastern suburbs of Sydney is scattered with red paint and his hand was removed days before the Australians celebrate their controversial “Australia Day” on Sunday.

New South Wales police have said she has received reports of a vandalized statue in Sydney's eastern beaches in Randwick on Friday morning and that the officers seized a “number of objects” at the scene.

The statutes recently underwent restoration work after a similar incident in February last year.

Cook arrived in Sydney Cove in 1770, where he and his crew landed in Botani Bay, opening the continent, now known as Australia for colonization by the British crown.

Nine years later, he was killed by the indigenous population during an attempt to abduct the Hawaiian leader.

As a historical figure, he is often associated with Australia Day held on January 26 to mark the arrival of the first fleet in Australia in 1788.

The government holiday is usually found with major protests from the indigenous groups and their supporters in the Australian cities, which call the holiday as a “invasion day” or “survival day” as it marks the beginning of the violent European colonization of the continent.

Native people and their supporters claim that it marks a moment of grief, loss and shame for the descendants of the European colonists or alternatively the survival of the peoples of the first nations.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, Australia was home to more than 500 different indigenous groups with multiple languages ​​that have been present on the continent for 60,000 years – if not more.

Similar calls were rejected as “separation” by conservatives and nationalists, including former Australian liberal Prime Minister John Howard, who rejected what he called the “black and tape” of Australian history in favor of a more positive focus on shared struggle, stubbornness And overcoming an adverse situation.
