Danish law to confiscate valuables and cash from refugees
Newly adopted law gives Danish authorities \"the power to search clothes and luggage of asylum seekers\".
Newly adopted law gives Danish authorities "the power to search clothes and luggage of asylum seekers".
According to integration ministry, "the new rule on seizure will only apply to assets of a considerable value". The law just passed Danish Parliament on this Tuesday 26 January, enabling authorities to confiscate valuables along with jewelry if deemed more than 10 000 Danish krones( 1 lakh rupees).
"Assets which have a certain personal, sentimental value to a foreigner will not, as a main rule, be seized unless they have considerable value."
The law raises even more controversy in Europe, where during world war II, the Nazis used to confiscate Jews possessions and made vast profits out of selling them off. The law was qualified by UN High Commission for Refugees as "against international standards of the protection of human rights ".
