Finland to vote on returning Russian asylum seekers

Finland is set to vote on a controversial bill that would grant border guards the power to turn back asylum seekers coming from Russia. The move has sparked debate among lawmakers, with the ruling right-wing coalition and many opposition members expected to support the legislation.

The Finnish government argues that the bill is necessary to prevent future arrivals of asylum seekers from Russia. However, critics argue that the law goes against Finland’s international human rights commitments.
