'The Hungarian parliament has approved a controversial law enabling all asylum seekers in the country to be detained and forced back into neighbouring Serbia. '
'The new bill also allows authorities to detain all adult asylum seekers in its territory and summarily return those refused to the Serbian border as part of “crisis” measures in place until September. '
'An estimated 7,000 asylum seekers are currently stranded in dire humanitarian conditions in Serbia while waiting to cross, with only a handful allowed through two designated transit zones a day. '
'Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister, claimed migrants were keeping his country “under siege” and must be defended against. '
'The new legislation will see refugees locked in border camps made of shipping containers while their cases are decided. '
