The article says that the app description said something about "killing children".
It's not really surprising google removed it. I mean they could've just edited the description or whatever but... policy I guess.
Sounds like it will be back any minute.
Google probably doesn't have a stance here. They just sanitize everything for you to consume without a second thought. I wonder if it violated some children-related policies.
Whilst apps made straight from the country doing the killing (and often by people who do, support or encourage the killing) are perfectly fine.
