Hundreds gather again at Essex asylum hotel in weekend of anti-immigrant protests | UK news
Hundreds of people gathered outside a hotel in EPPING for the fifth time to show the facilities used to host asylum seekers because the weekend protests spread to other hotels.
The presence of a large police with more than one force, restricted the theme among pro-anti-nomadic protesters, and ESSEX police said that the restrictions were necessary after the first demonstration on July 13 as a serious deterioration, violence and damage to society.
Norfolk Constabulary said that two men were accused of public order crimes after a protest against approximately 400 anti -immigrants and 250 against a hotel outside a hotel on Saturday. On Sunday, there was another protest at the Canary Wharf in London, and there were hundreds of low number of protesters.
On Sunday, ESSEX showed the last in a series of protests that began after a 2-year-old asylum seeker, who was allegedly trying to kiss a 14-year-old girl, gathered behind metal barriers other than Bell Hotel, up to the screening of up to 500 immigrant protesters in ESSEX on Sunday. 41 -year -old Hadush Kebatu from Ethiopia rejected the crimes and detained.
The protesters wore a T -shirt and kept signs with the slogan ün Protect our children ”, while others shook the flags of England. Among the other flags seen were one for reform UK and a white flag with a red crusade in a blue square, as seen in the demonstrations of abortion in the USA.
Against protesters, “Do not let the right to divide us with hatred and violences” and “maintenance of refugees”, including one of the posters. “Refugees are welcomed here” and “broken from our Nazi streets”.
Police said that three people were arrested during the peaceful protest, two of them were arrested from the anti -Hotel protest group and the other from the other against the protest group. Orum I would like to thank those who participated in the peaceful nature of both protests, Ess said ESSEX Police CH SUPT Simon Anslow. “I am pleased to have been without incident today and I am grateful to support our colleagues from other forces.”
In a letter sent to Guardian, asylum seekers said that “harmful stereotypes ında about refugees did not reflect the truth. “There are some refugees who do not behave respectfully or do not comply with the rules of the host society. However, these individuals do not represent all of us,” he said. “As in any group of people, there is both good and bad – and it is unfair to judge the majority with a few actions.”
He talked about the persecution and violence that escaped from the letter. “We refugees are not here to benefit from the system. We are here to rebuild, work and contribute to our lives:“ This letter is not an objection to sympathy, but a call for understanding and justice. ”
Apart from Bell Hotel, a local woman who does not want to be named, said that residents have complained about the increase of antisocial events since they started to host asylum seekers, but they were ignored and unjustly felt unjustly labeled as “distant right”.
Orum I’m not saying that everyone is not good in any of these hotels. I won’t judge everyone, but no veterinarians, ”he said. “We will not stop until I start listening and close this hotel.”
In previous protests, there were activists from far-right groups, including patriotic, patriotic alternative and neo-nazi white pioneering movement. On Sunday, the Norfolk Branch Organizer Kai Stephens organized a sign that said, koy Put the local people first ”.
Stephens said: “Unfortunately, there must be a certain point that we say that the British people should be given the local British people first.”
The supporters of the far -right activist Tommy Robinson were also present. 42-year-old Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said he would join before changing his mind and would not be useful for protesters.
Other local protesters said extreme right agitators were not welcome. “100% useless, because it gives them a message that we are trying to achieve here,” he said.
Organizing the opposite protests, the group estimates that approximately 700 people go to EPPING. Lewis Nielsen, an officer against racism, said Nigel Farage encouraged the reform of England to the right.
Nielsen said, “Currently, it is really dangerous because you don’t have a protest here, there are other protests around the country,” Nielsen said. “Last August, we stopped the uprising with such mobilization, and that’s why we are pleased that today’s success.”
Joshua Bailey, a protester who said he grew up in EPPING, said that anti -immigrant emotions made color people feel vulnerable and threatened in the increasing group of friends. “It is very important that we have a positive stance against refugees who are people who escape from real tragedy and disaster.”
He said he did not agree as cheers that label protesters as fascists or Nazis. “There is room for nuance,” he said. “I want to be able to sit in a bar with someone who has opposed views and can talk about it.”
