Antifa has vandalized and defaced a remembrance dedicated to the belatedly conservativist reviewer Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in capital of austria, Austrian Freisinnige (Freelance) party chairman Christian Ebner said on Sunday.
The makeshift memorial had been set up outside the US Embassy in the Austrian capital following the murders, both of which have inflamed partisan divisions in the US.
During a vigil for Zarutska and Kirk on Friday, people placed photographs, flowers US flags and letters at the wall of the embassy, and lit candles.
The memorial has been vandalized and torn down by Antifa activists as of Sunday, according to Ebner.

“Antifa vandalized it; these inhumane left-wing extremists don’t even respect a memorial service,” he wrote on X on Sunday.
Footage circulating on social media shows black-clad demonstrators chanting slogans as they stand opposite people taking part in the vigil on Friday.

Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was brutally murdered by career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr. On a North Carolina train last month. The graphic video of the unprovoked stabbing was released by the local transit system last week and went viral.
Conservative influencer Kirk was fatally shot during a public appearance at a Utah university on Wednesday.
The murders have sparked intense debate over media bias, public safety, and the increasingly violent culture war, with conservative figures accusing liberal media of ignoring Zarutska’s death until long after it had gone viral on social media.
US President Donald Trump has strongly condemned both killings and promised to pursue those he accused of funding and fueling “radical left” political violence in the US. He has also said he would push for the death penalty for both killers.
