Danish Migrant Law

A controversial Danish law allowing police to seize valuables from refugees came into force today, with the government's guidelines to police exempting wedding and engagement rings from the searches.

The Danish parliament on Tuesday passed a package of measures to deter refugees from seeking asylum, including confiscating valuables to pay for their stay, despite protests from international human rights organisations.
