The image does not show the location of the protest, but rather a view of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin.

FATBARDH DEMA

The information portal "Insajderi.org" today (June 20) published an article announcing that Kosovar expatriates will gather in the center of Helsinki, Finland, today to protest in support of Kosovo, to stop the protests of Serbs in the north and to release the three police officers kidnapped by Serbia.

After fact-checking by hibrid.info, the aforementioned portal has attached an inappropriate photograph to this article, which symbolically depicts the crossing point of the Berlin Wall between East and West Berlin during the Cold War (Checkpoint Charlie).


Link to the article published on the "Insajderi.org" portal:

After checking through "InVID", hibrid.info has managed to confirm that this photograph does not depict a view of the European Union Office in Helsinki, where the migrant protest will be held.

That the image represents the Berlin Wall crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War (Checkpoint Charlie), you can find here and here.


To further confirm the fact that the image depicts Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, hibrid.info has also found this point through Google Maps. (see here)


The same article with this photo was also published by the dubious portal "newz1.com" (here), and has been shared on several Facebook pages. (see here, here, here and here)


Analyze:

Based on fact-checking, hibrid.info has determined that the photograph in this article is inadequate, as it does not depict a view of the European Union Office in Helsinki, where the migrant protest will be held.

The image shows the Berlin Wall crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War (Checkpoint Charlie).

Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info rates this article as "Error".


Reasoning:

The "Error" rating is given to media reports in which the media editorial staff made a mistake by publishing incorrect information or broadcasting unverified news from another source, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
