According to REMIX News: ‘Iceland’s parliament is cracking down on immigration, with new legislation that strips asylum seekers of housing and healthcare, along with other rights, 30 days after their application is rejected. The country’s parliament passed the legislation despite protests from human rights organisations, including Amnesty International, which is funded by billionaire oligarch George Soros, and other organisations like the Red Cross and UNICEF, according to Icelandic news site RÚV.’
