Hungary’s parliament has approved the automatic detention of all asylum seekers in container camps at the country’s southern borders, despite a fierce backlash from human rights groups.
Under the new legislation, asylum seekers entering Hungary and those already in the the country will be detained or moved to the container camps.
Earlier this year, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the measure was needed as a response to “terror” attacks in Europe, citing the November 2015 attacks in Paris.
