Finland passes bill to stop migrants at border

Finland’s Parliament has approved legislation allowing border guards to turn away asylum-seekers at the eastern border under certain circumstances.

The law responds to a significant increase in asylum-seekers from countries like Somalia and Syria arriving via the 1,340-kilometer border with Russia.

Helsinki accuses Moscow of “weaponizing migration” as part of hybrid attacks due to Finland’s NATO accession, a claim Moscow denies.

The legislation passed with 167 votes in favor and 31 against, with some citing human rights concerns.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo stated the law sends a strong message about Finland’s commitment to its own and the EU’s security, the DW has reported.
