It's good to see Norway pushing back again the insane decision of its neighbour Finland to leave the Ottawa Convention (the anti-landmine treaty). It's the duty of all sensible people and countries to stand up for hard won gains like the Ottawa Convention, or indeed the International Criminal Court which Hungary is flouting.

Playgrounds, swimming pools and skateparks: Finland’s network of underground bomb shelters.

The cavernous Itakeskus swimming hall in Finland houses a complex of pools and saunas, but can be transformed into a vast underground bomb shelter.

These shelters form a vital part of Finland’s civil defence strategy and can provide a model for other European nations looking to ramp up preparedness after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Masha Gessen's text hits the nail on it's head: when masked police start making arbitrary arrests of minorities and put them in cages, we are living the "first they came for..." moment.

As an offspring of a victim of the Nazis and having grown up in the Soviet Union, Gessen knows what they are talking about.

This happens now in the US and, for now, to non-citizens (mostly at least...), but as noted, first they came for minorities, then it's your turn. And this can happen in #Finland, the EU or anywhere else if we don't work against it.
