Workers have dismantled the statue of a Greek goddess from Bangladesh’s Supreme Court complex, after protests from Islamists.
The sculpture of Themis (goddess of justice) wearing a sari was less than six months old, but Islamist groups demanded its removal by Friday.
They claimed it hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims and it prompted mass protests in the capital, Dhaka.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina agreed to its removal, but secular groups opposed it.
The statue is being removed to maintain peace, said its creator Mrinal Haque.
Analysts say this is a sign of the rising tension between Islamic conservatism and liberal values in Bangladesh.
