A new Hungarian law passed on Wednesday criminalizing anyone who supports asylum seekers and other vulnerable individuals is “blatantly xenophobic,” “shameful” and “disgraceful," UN human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said. It is “an attack on fundamental human rights and freedoms,” as it “makes illegal the act of helping those who may be in dire need,” he added. Under the Hungarian legislation, it will be possible to jail “any lawyer, adviser, volunteer or legally resident family member” who helps vulnerable foreigners.
