New laws have just come into force in Hungary allowing police to arrest and charge migrants entering the country illegally. Police have also sealed a key railway crossing point that had been used by tens of thousands of people to enter the EU from Serbia. Migrants arriving at the razor wire barrier will now be diverted to official transit points where their asylum applications will be processed. Aniko Bakonyi, with the Hungarian Helsinki Committee currently on the Serbian side of the border across from Hungary talks to Newsday.
