The incident of a Palestinian flag covering a Star of David necklace on an Amy Winehouse statue is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police.
Winehouse, who died in 2011, aged 27, lived in London’s Camden neighbourhood. The life-size statue of the late Winehouse, who belonged to the Jewish faith, was installed in 2014 at Camden Market. On Monday, it was flagged on X that the Star of David had been covered by a Palestinian flag.
The Amy Winehouse statue has stood undisturbed and respected for years. It has her Star of David necklace out and proud. Until today when a pro-Palestinian defaced her Jewishness with a sticker. This is GROSS antisemitism. Please remedy this @CamdenMarket now.
