It is also apparently a de facto right in Germany (but not a de jure right). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchenasyl https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchenasyl We (Denmark) also had a case in 1991/1992 where hundreds of (criminal) rejected asylum seekers occupied a church for a long time, in full cooperation with the priest and plenty of left-wing politicians and musicians. It ended with a special law that granted them asylum -- whereupon most of them continued to inflict crimes upon the natives and so did many of their children. https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pal%C3%A6stinenserloven https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pal%C3%A6stinenserloven The extreme left tried to repeat the "success" in 2009 and a new batch of (criminal) rejected asylum seekers and other (criminal) foreigners who had been banned from the country. This time they didn't succeed, despite ready displays of violence from violent blackshirts ( https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifascistisk_Aktion https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifascistisk_Aktion ) and widespread support from the media.
