para penduduk menggantung patung sang diktator di muka umum

an effigy is an image or representation of a person, especially a cruel figure representing a hated person.
The expression "in effigy" means "publicly in the form of an effigy".
There're two important points here, the first one is it's a hated person and the second is it's hung publicly.
So, I would translate the sentence as:
Para penduduk menggantung patung sang diktator di muka umum.

agree Anthony Indra : IMHO, rasa bencinya harus ada deh (Tambah "dengan rasa benci"?)
