Denmark's government has proposed stripping asylum seekers requesting government assistance of money and valuables, leaving them with only the most bare personal possessions, Denmark's Politiken newspaper reported.
According to the proposal, backed by several ruling coalition parties, Danish police would be allowed to search arriving refugees and confiscate their possessions. Refugees would be allowed to bring in around $440 in cash, a mobile phone, a laptop, a watch and "personal possessions" including wedding rings. Other valuable possessions would be confiscated.
