    The Hague The Netherlands O Portão dos Prisioneiros, aqui em Haia, foi usada de 1420 até 1828 para abrigar pessoas que haviam cometido crimes graves enquanto aguardavam a sentença. Desde então, já foi sede de um clube literário, de um museu e de uma galeria de arte. É também o local onde, a única vez na história mundial, um primeiro-ministro foi comido pelo seu próprio povo.

    Voor een mals stukje vlees

    The Hague The Netherlands De Gevangenenpoort, hier in Den Haag, werd van 1420 tot 1828 gebruikt om mensen op te sluiten die ernstige misdrijven hadden gepleegd terwijl zij op hun vonnis wachtten. Vervolgens heeft het gebouw onderdak geboden aan een literaire club, een museum, en een kunstgalerie. Het is ook de plek waar, de enige keer in de wereldgeschiedenis, een minister-president door zijn eigen volk werd opgegeten.
