Social Media Activists Demand The Return Of Stolen Statues | Looted (Part 1/2)

Описание: Social media activists are fighting to reclaim stolen artefacts from museums and private collections in the UK, the U.S and France.

In India, an already well-established group of online sleuths has put pressure on the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford to return an invaluable bronze statue to a temple in Tamil Nadu. It was believed to be stolen since the 1950s. A British auctioneer in London attempts to sell a highly contentious silver flask taken from China. And a growing group of Nepali activists are pushing to make themselves heard on the world stage, with demands on Twitter to stop the sale of stolen Nepali artefacts in France.

Will the Nepal campaign go viral? Will the Indian activists gather enough evidence to start an investigation into religious statue sitting at the museum in Oxford? And will China step in to prevent the sale of a valuable piece at an auction in London?
