Prosecutors in France on Friday said they had dropped legal proceedings against a man who rescued a Nigerian migrant about to give birth on the Franco-Italian border in freezing weather, citing "humanitarian immunity".
Benoit Ducos, a volunteer helping migrants coming across the border, found the Nigerian family -- a couple and their two children -- and two others who had carried the woman, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant, during their trek through the snowy terrain.
