Protesters call to stop the accommodation of refugees in hotels
- Protests against the accommodation of refugees in hotels are taking place across the UK.
- The High Court has banned the accommodation of refugees in the Bell hotel following a complaint.
- Reform UK leader called for mass deportations of refugees.
On Saturday, September 24, 2025, protests against the accommodation of refugees in hotels will take place across the entire United Kingdom. These actions will coincide with protests against immigration opponents, which have led to clashes between the two sides.
Protests have been held in cities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, including London, Birmingham, Liverpool, and other places. In Liverpool, police arrested 11 individuals for various offenses, including hooliganism.
These protests were a response to the High Court's decision, which banned the accommodation of refugees at the Bell hotel in Epping, after one of the residents was accused of sexual violence. This decision sparked outrage among local residents and increased tension regarding immigration policy in the government.
According to data, since the arrival of Prime Minister Kira Starmer, over 50,000 migrants have crossed La Manche, while the number of refugees temporarily residing in hotels has reached approximately 32,345 individuals. Many activists believe that the government does not grant refugees the right to work, making them dependent on social assistance.
At the same time, the leader of the radical Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, called for mass deportations to address the issue of illegal immigration. He expressed a desire to withdraw the UK from the Convention on Refugees and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
In a social context, protests are taking place against the background of rising anti-immigrant sentiments in society, as well as the activism of radical groups that use these events to bolster their political positions.
