Police attend protest outside London hotel which will house asylum seekers | UK News
Metropolitan Police officers attended the scene of a protest outside a hotel in east London where asylum seekers will be homed.
The protest took place on Tuesday outside the four-star Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, which the government intends to use as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers, according to Tower Hamlets Council.
A police statement from last night said: “Officers are currently in attendance at a protest outside a hotel in Canary Wharf.
“We have a policing plan in place and will continue to monitor events.”
A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets Council said: “We are aware of the government’s decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
“It is important that the government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel.
“We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place.”
They also made a plea to Reform UK (Brexit party) parties to stop inciting violence and thuggish behaviour towards asylum seekers, who by in large are no threat to society.
There have been a series of demonstrations outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, since asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with sexual assault after an incident earlier this month in which he is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl.
Kebatu denied the charge when he appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
Four men, supporters of Reform UK (Brexit party) have been charged with violent disorder after the protests outside the hotel in Essex, which is believed to be housing asylum seekers, police say.
