 Can you guess where this incredible structure is? 🤔    It's in Brussels! You're looking at the Atomium, a landmark monument originally built for the 1958 World's Fair, or Expo 58.    In 2006, Belgium minted 5 million €2 commemorative coins featuring its image!  Fascinating, isn’t it?     Today there are almost 150 billion euro coins in circulation and many of the €2 coins have special designs to commemorate important events, people or landmarks – just like the Atomium!    🎉 This year, the euro celebrates its 25th anniversary!  Since its introduction, it has become the shared currency of 20 EU countries, serving over 340 million people within the European Union.    🔗 Learn more about euro coin designs on the ECB website: https://lnkd.in/efjTkst4    📸 Atomium in Brussels ©️ Source: NBB Museum / ECB / Photographer: Lieselot Van Peteghem    #EUROat25 

  • The image shows a close-up of a coin held between someone's fingers, with the Atomium structure in Brussels, Belgium, blurred in the background. The coin appears to have an image of the Atomium on it, emphasising the link between the coin and the landmark. The scene is set outdoors under a clear blue sky.

"Bouanane was charged with three incidents with prison guards. They all date back to October 2020, when Bouanane was under compulsory treatment at the psychiatric prison hospital in Turku. Two charges concern the violent resistance of an official. More serious in terms of consequences was the case where Bouanane bit his finger when he was force-fed medicine prescribed by a doctor." https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000008872778.html As you can see, these organizations and committees like Council of Europe anti-torture Committee (CPT) have no effect on Finland and who was only in Finland when Jari Aarnio was in custody of his own people and in his "own" kingdom. This means that these organizations and committees are only established to enable this activity which it does creating a false image to the people who thinks these things like tortures are now under control, but it doesn't but in contrary, these committees only allow these tortures with their FAKE control that is not in reality

Yes, and maybe also quite relevant to add when talking about Expo 58 - Congolese people were put in cages for people to watch. Let's not erase history by only commemorating the beautiful and nationalistic parts of history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expo_58
