Danish Parliament approved Seizure of Migrant Assets

The Danish parliament has approved a controversial law allowing authorities to seize refugee’s cash and valuables and delay them being reunited with their families.
  • The policy would treat migrants and refugees in the same way as the country’s unemployed, who must sell assets above a certain value before they canreceive benefits.
  • The policy says that the police will be able to seize valuables worth more than1340 euros (1000 Pound) from refugees to cover housing and food costs.
The bill has been criticized by UN chief Ban Ki-moon and human rights groups as refugees deserved compassion.
Keys Denmark:
  • Capital – Copenhagen
  • Currency – Danish krone
  • PM – Lars Lokke Rasmussen
