Finland is planning an emergency law for Russia's border. Finland is keeping its border crossings with Russia closed out of fear of a targeted influx of migrants.

The government and the hard-right “True Finns” have now come up with a law as a countermeasure. It should allow pushbacks; the blanket deportation near the border without examining asylum applications. The UN refugee agency UNHCR, together with Finland's Red Cross, the Refugee Council and the Finnish UN Association, also criticized the move.
