Finland's parliament has passed a contentious bill granting border guards the authority to turn away asylum seekers at the border with Russia. This move comes after an influx of over 1,300 asylum seekers prompted Helsinki to shut its border. The legislation, described as temporary, has sparked debate over its implications for international asylum protocols and human rights. Critics argue it sets a dangerous precedent for global asylum practices, while supporters claim it's necessary for national security. The law includes provisions for asylum seekers to appeal and mandates parliamentary oversight in its application.
