Finnish government seeks to extend ban on migrants seeking asylum on Russia border

The Finnish government is proposing to extend a ban on migrants seeking asylum at its border with Russia, following an increase in asylum seekers crossing from Russia. This legislative move comes after Finland closed its border in November due to a surge in asylum applications, which the Finnish authorities believe was orchestrated by Russia as a form of hybrid warfare. The proposed law would allow border guards to prevent asylum seekers from entering if they are suspected of being part of such orchestrated movements. The bill, which has sparked debate over its compliance with international human rights laws, is set to be discussed in parliament, with the government arguing that it is necessary for national security. Critics, however, express concerns about the potential infringement on the right to seek asylum.
