HELSINKI, Finland (HOL) — Finland's parliament is set to vote on a bill on Friday that would grant border guards the power to turn back asylum seekers crossing from Russia, following the arrival of over 1,300 people, which forced Helsinki to close its border. Among those affected are numerous Somali migrants, who find themselves caught in the geopolitical struggle between Finland and Russia.
