Rhode Island removed mural honoring stabbing victim from LGBTQ bar after city deemed artwork divisive.
In April 2026, a mural honoring Iryna Zarutska, a victim of a random stabbing in North Carolina, was removed from a Providence, Rhode Island, LGBTQ+ bar after city officials labeled the artwork "divisive."
Mayor Brett Smiley and other leaders criticized the memorial for not reflecting community values, while legal experts and critics condemned the move as censorship and a suppression of free speech.
