EPPING: Hundreds of protesters gathered again Sunday outside a hotel in southern England at the focus of a legal battle over migrants, calling for foreign criminals to be deported.
The Bell Hotel in Epping, northeast London, became a flashpoint for protests in July after an asylum seeker staying there was charged with sexual assault for attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl. The man charged has denied the allegation.
The demonstrations have since spread to other parts of Britain, at times turning violent.
The latest protests, at Epping and elsewhere in England, come two days after an appeal court overturned a lower court ruling that had temporarily blocked the use of the Bell Hotel to house asylum-seekers.
On Sunday evening, hundreds of people gathered outside the hotel again, calling for the removal of asylum seekers housed there.
