AFP<\/a> reports that the Hungarian legislature has given the Hungarian Army new powers to hold Europe’s frontline in the latest crisis there. <\/p>\n

Under the legislation, the army can participate in border control and may use non-lethal force, while police will be able to enter private homes to look for illegal migrants.<\/p>\n

“Soldiers deployed to the border can use coercive weapons designed to cause bodily harm, although in a non-lethal way, unless it cannot be avoided,” it says, referring to rubber bullets, tear gas grenades and net guns.<\/p>\n

Last week, other legislation came into force allowing Hungary to jail anyone caught crossing the border illegally, which carries a maximum fine of five years in prison. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
