A Muslim woman in Spain has been caught on camera tearing down a European Lives Matter poster paying tribute to the victims of the Southport stabbing attack, sparking fury on social media.
A video of the hijab-clad female destroying the poster was shared by Spanish X user Vito Quiles, who captioned the clip: “You know what this is about now, right?”
The brown-skinned woman can be seen in the video peeling a poster off a wall at what appears to be a university, next to the remains of another beside it.

The posters were produced by activist group Action Radar Europe after the stabbing murders of three young girls allegedly by a Rwandan teenager in Southport, England, last month.
They feature the victims’ names and faces and the slogan “Remigration saves lives”.
Earlier this month Spanish nationalists placed the posters outside the British Embassy in Madrid, a week-and-a-half after French activists did the same in the city of Vannes.
The video generated hundreds of angry comments on social media, with many commenters saying the woman should be deported immediately
“When a Muslim woman tears down the posters of these murdered young girls, it reveals a profound loss of humanity. This chilling act of cruelty challenges us to confront the fragility of compassion in our deeply divided world,” one comment read.
Independent reporter Klaus Arminius shared the video and wrote: “How VILE and HATEFUL do you have to be to tear up posters of children stabbed to death?”
“There’s no reason to do this. These are young White girls who lost their lives. It is just pure hatred. And it is all happening while Europeans are still a significant majority. Things can get so much worse,” a comment on his post read.
