Hundreds Protest Asylum Seeker Hotels in Altrincham, Epping Amid Assault Charges
Tensions have escalated around hotels housing asylum seekers in the UK, particularly at The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, and the Cresta Court hotel in Altrincham. Anti-immigration protesters and pro-immigration counter-protesters have confronted each other, with police deploying significant forces to keep the groups separate and maintain order. The demonstrations in Epping intensified after an asylum seeker was charged with sexual offenses involving a minor, sparking protests featuring Union Jack and St George's flags alongside counter-protests advocating for refugee rights. Authorities have imposed strict measures including dispersal orders, bans on face coverings, and designated protest zones to curb violence and maintain public safety. Despite these efforts, incidents of harassment, property damage, and assaults on officers have been reported, leading to multiple arrests and ongoing court proceedings. Local residents and hotel occupants have expressed fear and anxiety over the ongoing unrest, with police advising residents and staff to remain indoors during peak protest times.
