Protests Against the Accommodation of Refugees in a London Hotel

• Protesters in London called for the closure of a hotel for refugees.
• The counter-protest supported the rights of migrants and demanded assistance.
• The police imposed restrictions to ensure safety during the protests.

In London, protests took place against the use of a hotel for accommodating refugees. Protesters gathered outside the Thistle City Barbican hotel, calling for its closure for refugees. The demands of the protesters included the closure of "Britain is Full" and "Scotland" at the address of the migrants.

Protesters aimed to express their views on safety, indicating that many of those present are young people who have recently arrived in Great Britain. The police divided the protesters into two groups, as the order of events was counter-protest in support of refugees, organized by the group Stand Up To Racism.

Participants of the counter-protest called for support for refugees, and one of them stated that he wants migrants to feel safe in Great Britain. The police previously announced increased patrolling in the area and established restrictions at the location where the protests were held.

Protests took place not only in London but also in Newcastle, where similar actions were held to support refugees. The police were present to prevent racism and ensure safety during the protests.
