Plans to seize the assets of asylum seekers are among controversial new measures on immigration being debated by MPs in Demark.

The proposals have been condemned by the UN refugee agency and other rights groups, who say they go against international rules on refugees.

The bill is expected to be voted on later in the month.

According to BBC News, the government on Tuesday secured a parliamentary majority to alter the proposed legislation to allow the Danish authorities to seize migrants’ cash and other individual items worth more than 10,000 kroner, the equivalent of 1,450 US dollars.

Wedding rings and other items of sentimental value will not be included.
