Denmark seizes assets of refugees

According to The Guardian, Denmark has a new law to strip refugees of cash and valuables.  This leaves them worried that they have to rob or beg just to stay alive. 

The Danish law has enabled police to take cash and valuables above 10,000 kroner from immigrants looking for help and world famous Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has closed his Copenhagen exhibition in protest. Kofi Annan former UN leader has said it is “not in the spirit of the European convention on human rights, UN convention on the rights of a child, and the UN refugee convention – all of which Denmark is a party to”.
