French lawyers, immigrant workers denounce new asylum bill
NGOs, lawyers and employees from France's asylum office, on strike for the first time in five years, have staged a protest with placards reading: "Death of the right to asylum" against the government's proposed bill to toughen France's immigration and asylum laws.
The bill will double to 90 days the time in which illegal migrants can be detained, shorten deadlines to apply for asylum, and make the illegal crossing of borders an offence punishable by one year in jail and fines.
