Story highlights Asylum claims will be processed within ten days of the new law, which the government says will help separate genuine refugees from economic migrants Lithuania on Wednesday adopted a law that restricts migrants rights and speeds up asylum claims, following a spike in arrivals from Africa and the Middle East via Belarus. President Gitanas Nauseda signed off on the legislation but called it "flawed" and asked for parliament to amend it later this year. Nauseda said that vetoing the law altogether would have sent a "completely unacceptable signal to the countries of origin". The law allows for migrants to be detained for up to six months and makes it harder for them to appeal against asylum rejections.
