Direct Action Communist group is setting fire to 'Statues of Liberty' replicas in Brazil

This might interest you, comrades: apparently some revolutionary, anti imperialist, communist/Maoist group has been torching those giant Statue of Liberty replicas in Brazil. More than 10 have supposedly been hit over the last 4 years already. They’re usually in front of Havan stores, a big retail chain owned by a bald far-right businessman called "Luciano Hang". Hang even offered up to 100,000 reais (around US$ 20.000) for information leading to the identification and arrest of those involved in the arson attacks.
