Media said the council had told street artist known as Lushsux to remove his mural last week or face a fine, with the building owner also threatened if the image remained.

Lushsux, who previously depicted U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a mural, had by Monday updated the image of Clinton to show her in Islamic dress.

“If this Muslim woman offends u, u r a bigot, racist, sexist Islamophobe,” Lushsux wrote next to the Clinton mural.

On Wednesday, the wall had been painted completely black.
