Denmark robbing refugees of cash and jewellery, just like the ISIS terrorists in fact

Denmark’s daylight robbery of refugees

Denmark is defying international outrage and pressing ahead with plans to force refugees to hand over valuables in return for providing sanctuary. Trine Villemann reports from Copenhagen.

The letter that landed on the desk of Integration Minister Inger Støjberg contained a ring. It was the family heirloom of author Christian Mørk, who wrote, “My great-grandfather came from Russia to Denmark in the 1860’s. As far as I am aware, my great-grandmother was not asked to hand over her valuables when she reached the Danish border but thinking of those who will now suffer this humiliating experience, I am sending you my grandmother’s ring.”

Mørk posted the letter with a photograph of the ring on Facebook. Within minutes the debate was raging, once again showing the division over the government’s proposal to let refugees and migrants cover some of the costs of their stay in Denmark.

“What a stupid letter. When people came here in the 1860s they were not handed a bag of money, free education, and health care. They had to find a job and support themselves. You cannot compare the two,” wrote Kirsten Marie Waade.

Lis Greve, a supporter, posted, “It’s disgraceful that migrants and refugees have to hand over what they own in money and valuables. It’s like when the Jews were robbed by the Nazis. Is that where Denmark is heading?”
