El Salvador – Hmm

Last month,  Maria de Transito Orellana, Cinthia Rodriguez and Alba Rodriguez were freed from jail.  Both Alba Rodriguez and Maria de Transito Orellana served nine years and Cinthia Rodriguez more than eleven years of a thirty-year sentence.
They were accused of aborting their babies after the distress of miscarriages.  Abortion is illegal in this country.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
